Booker, J M

In risk assessments of high level waste disposal problems, the paucity or absence of data makes it necessary to rely on expert opinion information. This information is usually in the form of a mixture of qualitative and quantitative information (data). Regardless of which methods are used to handle this mixture, certain issues such as granularity and conditionality cannot be ignored. These issues are discussed as they impact some of the major methods in current use. Examples of how to handle this data mixture are provided for some of the classical methods and for some of the newer, cognitive and data-based methods. 13 refs., 5 figs.
