Review of Studies Related to Uncertainty in Risk Analysis.

DE88015335

Publication Date	1988
Personal Author	Rish, W. R.; Marnicio, R. J.
Page Count	156
Abstract	The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Radiation Programs (ORP) is responsible for regulating on a national level the risks associated with technological sources of ionizing radiation in the environment. A critical activity of the ORP is analyzing and evaluating risk. The ORP believes that the analysis of uncertainty should be an integral part of any risk assessment; therefore, the ORP has initiated a project to develop framework for the treatment of uncertainty in risk analysis. Summaries of recent studies done in five areas of study are presented. (ERA citation 13:049624)
