Language: English
Sub type: Webinar

Management of knowledge, information and data can be a challenge in radioactive waste disposal and decommissioning. Planning, construction, operation and closure of a repository involves large volumes of information over an extended duration. At the same time information, data and knowledge about repositories must be accessible and understandable by numerous generations. Managing knowledge, archiving records […]

Lunch & Learn | Sensitivity Analyses in Safety Assessments for Geologic Disposal Facilities: An International Collaboration

Online
EURAD WP13
Language: English
Sub type: Webinar

Addressing uncertainties is an essential part of Safety Cases for geologic disposal facilities. An important instrument for doing so is sensitivity analysis (SA), by which the impact of input parameter uncertainties on the output(s) of model calculations is studied and evaluated. While some SA methods (such as linear and rank-based methods) are routinely applied in […]

Lunch & Learn | “Plus minus what?” – Uncertainty in destructive spent nuclear fuel inventory analysis
