The theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ)-based strategic mapping of green nuclear energy investments with spherical fuzzy group decision-making approach

The aim of this study is to define strategies to increase green nuclear energy investments. Within this context, a model is suggested that includes two different stages. Firstly, the consensus-based fuzzy preferences are determined for these investments. For this purpose, four different TRIZ-based strategies are identified, which have an influence on the effectiveness of these projects. Furthermore, in the second stage, the significance weights of these strategies are calculated by considering the spherical fuzzy DEMATEL approach. The findings indicate that dynamicity is the most appropriate TRIZ strategy for the effectiveness of green nuclear energy investments. In addition, the prior action is another significant strategy that should also be considered in these projects. It is obvious that sufficient technological infrastructure is very important for the performance of green nuclear power plants and there is a rapid development of this technology. Because of this situation, these nuclear power plants should be designed effectively so that they can be adoptable to any changes in the technology. In this scope, qualified personnel should be employed, and communication between departments should be effective and of high quality. With the help of these issues, technological changes can be adopted more easily.

Automated summary

This study aims to define strategies to increase green nuclear energy investments through a two-stage model. It identifies dynamicity and prior action as the most significant strategies, while emphasizing the importance of technological infrastructure and qualified personnel. Effective communication between departments is also highlighted to facilitate the adoption of technological changes.
