Title: Probabilistic risk analysis for a high-level radioactive waste repository / Bernard L. CohenAuthor: Cohen, Bernard L.
Notes: A probabilist risk analysis (PRA) for a high-level radioactive waste repository is very important since it gives an estimate of its health impacts, allowing comparisons to be made with the health impacts of competing technologies. However, it is extremely difficult to develop a credible PRA for a specific repository site because of large uncertainties in future climate, hydrology, geological precess, etc. The results are equivalent to the average results for numerous randomly selected sites.Related records: En: Risk analysis : an international journal. - New York and London : Society for Risk Analysis. - Vol. 23, nº 5, October, 2003 ; p. 909-915Materia / lugar / evento: Análisis de riesgos Residuos radiactivos Gestión de residuos Aguas subterráneas Cáncer Análisis costo-beneficio Gerencia de riesgos Other categories: 7
