This paper discusses Carol Gotway`s paper, ``The Use of Conditional Simulation in Nuclear Waste Site Performance Assessment.`` The paper centers on the use of conditional simulation and the use of geostatistical methods to simulate an entire field of values for subsequent use in a complex computer model. The issues of sampling designs for geostatistics, semivariogram estimation and anisotropy, turning bands method for random field generation, and estimation of the comulative distribution function are brought out.
