Hansen, C.W.; Brooks, K.; Groves, J.W.; Helton, J.C.; Lee, K.P.; Sallaberry, Cedric J.; Statham, W.; Thorn, C.

Uncertainty and sensitivity analyses of the expected dose to the reasonably maximally exposed individual in the Yucca Mountain 2008 total system performance assessment (TSPA) are presented. Uncertainty results are obtained with Latin hypercube sampling of epistemic uncertain inputs, and partial rank correlation coefficients are used to illustrate sensitivity analysis results.
