Sensitivity study of the waste package near field subsystem

The U.S. Salt Repository Project Office has been required to assess the post closure performance of an underground salt repository over a 10,000 year period with respect to NRC and EPA regulatory criteria. Predicting the performance over such a period of time requires development and characterization of reasonable systems models. There also was a requirement for the development of complementary cumulative distribution functions, CCDF's, which in turn required the performance of sensitivity and uncertainty analyses of the systems models
