【 摘 要 】

Growing importance of environmental issues at global and regional levelsincluding pollution of water, air etc. as well as the outcomes such as globalwarming and climate change has led to being considered environmental aspectsas effective factors for power generation. Study ahead, aims at examinationof risks resulting from activities of Yazd Combined Cycle Power Plant locatedin Iran. Method applied in the research is analytical hierarchy process.After identification of factors causing risk, the analytical hierarchystructure of the power plant risks were designed and weight of the criteriaand sub-criteria were calculated by intensity probability product usingEigenvector Method and EXPERT CHOICE Software as well. Results indicate thatin technological, health-safety, biophysical and socio economic sections ofthe power plant, factors influenced by the power plant activities like fireand explosion, hearing loss, quantity of groundwater, power generation areamong the most important factors causing risk in the power plant. The drop inunderground water levels is the most important natural consequence influencedon Yazd Combined Cycle Power Plant.
