Abstract
This discussion of the MAU process and its potential application at Sillamäe draws from the framework provided by Keeney and von Winterfeldt [3] and Dyer et. al. [11], [4] in their analysis of the problem of the disposition of nuclear power plant wastes and the weapons grade plutonium supply in the United States. Technical details associated with the outlined steps in the MAU process may be found in Keeney and Raiffa [15].
It is important to approach the issue of development of an overall plan at Sillamäe from the strategic perspective suggested in this paper. If this approach is indeed taken, the analysis (and framework for the analysis) that is an output of the process of alternative selection may be used in other waste management situations in the region. This would advance both the NATO goal of cooperation between governments and the OECD goal of cooperation between governments and industry.
