UNCERTAINTY MANAGEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF LONG-TERM SAFETY ASSESSMENT

Uncertainty management is a key element of a confidence-building process in the context of the numerical safety assessment of radioactive waste disposal facilities. This paper presents an overview of the approaches for uncertainty treatment at different stages of a safety assessment with a focus on the characterization and reduction of uncertainties of a particular numerical model.

Keywords: safety assessment, computational codes, numerical modelling, uncertainty analysis, sensitivity analysis, parameter optimization, radioactive waste.
