Assessment of Proposed Sites for the Establishment of Fars Research Reactor

The main purpose of the present study is the evaluation of the candidate sites for proposed Fars research reactor. Because the proposed research reactor is being designed conceptually and is very similar to the Tehran Research Reactor, the specifications of the Tehran Research Reactor have been used in this study. In this research with the help of site selection criteria and geographic information system utilities in Arc-Gis 10.4.1 software for three regions of Shiraz, Marvdasht and Sarvestan. The results show that Bajgah site in Shiraz region is the preferred site for Fars research reactor. The process of present research can be used as a methodology for site selection of other similar nuclear facilities.
