Summary:In radiological protection, the study of optimization and decision-making techniques is rather scarce compared with the importance of its concept. Taking cognizance of this, International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) presented the decision-aiding techniques based on conventional optimization method in ICRP Publ. 55. This study aims to introduce other decision-aiding techniques to comprehensively support the analysis of optimization process by the use of the goal programming and goal vector methods. The analytical process for the problem of selecting options among given protection alternatives is illustrated with the data of the uranium mine example. The techniques studied are considered to provide a useful tool for the decision maker with respect to their intelligibility and simplification in the choice of optimal alternative associated with radiological protection.
