MACRO1: a code to test a methodology for analyzing nuclear-waste management systems

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5547743· OSTI ID:5547743

The code is primarily a manager of probabilistic data and deterministic mathematical models. The user determines the desired aggregation of the available models into a composite model of a physical system. MACRO1 then propagates the finite probability distributions of the inputs to the model to finite probability distributions over the outputs. MACRO1 has been applied to a sample analysis of a nuclear-waste repository, and its results compared satisfactorily with previously obtained Monte Carlo statistics.
