Uncertainties on Future States of Radioactive Waste Disposal Systems - Interest and Sketch of a Methodology

Abstract

High level waste repositorie facilities are complex systems : the parameters, processes, their interactions and the relationships between the system and its environment are numerous. Lack of knowledge and variability of parameters in the field we are studying and the time periods we require to consider, generate uncertainty which may be hard to evaluate and may affect sensitive factors (ex: human intrusion).
