Assessment of risk methodologies for DOE hazardous chemical waste sites. Status report for period ending September 30, 1985
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5767611
The purpose was to review and evaluate existing models and methodologies for their applicability to development of a risk-assessment-based scoring and ranking system for use in DOE's Hazardous Chemical Defense Waste Program (HWP). In addition to describing and evaluating existing assessment schemes, desirable criteria are identified for a risk assessment methodology tailored specifically to the needs of the HWP. The report summarizes the three basic kinds of assessment models: scoring, simulation, and statistical, and evaluates strengths and weaknesses of the various methods as they relate to the needs of the HWP.
