Assessment of Risk Methodologies for DOE Hazardous Chemical Waste Sites. Status Report for Period Ending September 30, 1985

摘要

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.
