Uncertainties of computer results are of primary interest in applications such as high-level waste (HLW) repository performance assessment in which experimental validation is not possible or practical. Because of the complicated nature of the computational structure of large computer models and because of the large number of input and data parameters associated with such models, to date almost all uncertainty analysis of computer results has been performed using a statistical approach. The purpose of this work is to present an alternate deterministic approach for calculating uncertainties that has the potential to significantly reduce the number of computer runs required for conventional statistical analysis.
