Progress in Nuclear Energy, cilt.140, 2021 (SCI-Expanded)
The aim of this study is to evaluate the incremental innovation performance of nuclear energy projects. Within this context, a novel model is generated which consists of two different stages, and large nuclear reactors are taken into consideration. Firstly, the Pythagorean fuzzy DEMATEL is used to weight the phases of technology S-Curve for nuclear energy projects. Moreover, the second stage includes the ranking two-generation technology S-curve with integer patterns for nuclear energy projects. In this framework, the best combinations are selected for innovation life cycle pattern with the integer code series. The findings demonstrate that the nuclear energy companies need to consider the two-generation technology S-Curve because continuous technological developments are occurring for nuclear power generation. It is also determined that aging in the first generation is the most significant period of two-generation technology S-Curve for nuclear energy projects. In this process, critical decisions should be made regarding future technological investments. In addition, the growth phase in the second generation is also important for the effectiveness of the nuclear energy technology. Conducting effective evaluations in these processes will contribute to increasing the efficiency of companies.
