Creators
Description
This paper gives a brief overview of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory criteria that must be satisfied before a high-level nuclear waste (HLW) repository can be licensed. From this the important role of sensitivity/uncertainty methods can be seen. A review of the current state of the art of the major methods is given in this paper that includes major recent developments
