The aim of this paper is to create a panel comparing some of the key decision-making support tools used in situations with the characteristics of the problem of selecting suitable areas for constructing a final deep geologic repository. The tools addressed in this work are also well known and with easy implementation. The decision-making process in matters of this kind is in general complex due to its multicriteria nature and the conflicting opinions of various stakeholders. Thus a comprehensive study was performed with the literature in this subject specifically in documents of the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA regarding the importance of the criteria involved in the decision-making process. Therefore we highlighted six judgment attributes for selecting a decision support tool suitable for the problem. For this study we have selected the following multicriteria tools AHP Delphi Brainstorm Nominal Group Technique and AHP-Delphi. Finally the AHP-Delphi method has demonstrated to be more appropriate for managing the inherent multiple attributes to the problem proposed. 1 Introduction appropriate location for .
