Lunch & Learn | “Plus minus what?” – Uncertainty in destructive spent nuclear fuel inventory analysis
OnlineEURAD WP13
Language: English
Sub type: Webinar
All analytical results of an analysis come (or should come) with an uncertainty. This uncertainty, the “plus/minus number”, is often just taken for granted by the user of the results, without much further thought. In this talk, we shall explore in more detail what is hidden (or not) behind the uncertainty number of a destructive […]
