The article justifies methods of fuzzy sets theory for complex economic evaluation of technogenic losses of national economy and necessity of these methods under the circumstances of vagueness and lack of information. The article also suggests the heterodox approach to economic evaluation of anticipated technogenic losses of industry branches by analyzing the risks of possible losses by means of fuzzy logic and neural networks.
