| Abstract |
| One necessary scope of Environmental hazard management is accurate searches in site selection and environmental effect analysis of nuclear installations. International atomic energy Agency developed an Approach 1994 criteria for site selection of radioactive material depository installations. This approach consists of planning, survey, characterization, and confirmation stages. And because the implementation of such an approach is related to difficulties once it's applied manually. But, using modern GIS analytical methods, and satellite image remote sensing techniques were used to accurately locate the premier appropriate sites, for radioactive waste disposal facilities. Some modifications are introduced to ease the implementation of the International Atomic Energy Agency criteria. In addition to the site survey stage. The location selection is divided into some phases, each of them has its criteria, and also the GIS has a multi-criteria face that has been applied. This method has been tested in selection locating the of an optimum site for radioactive waste disposal facilities, which was characterized by its very accurate, easy use, and saving time. The site survey stage comprises three main phases, each phase requires some types of data. These data are represented by physical, geological, geophysical, hydrogeological, and environmental data. Seismological data in the form of historical and instrumental earthquakes that affected Egypt along its recent geological history has been acquired |
