            Abstract : 
Developing a long term and stable relationships between owner and suppliers is a certain section in sound supply chain system, especially for nuclear power plant (NPP) that require apparatus´ safety and reliability. Based on a brief description of NPP conventional island apparatus, a supplier selection evaluation index set is established, this paper proposed analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) to verify practicality of evaluation index set. Finally, an empirical study is performed to demonstrate the integrated model and identify the suitable supplier(s).
