Parametric analysis of a 1-D infiltration model for Yucca Mountain

摘要

Hydrogeological properties of the formations at Yucca Mountain have been previously characterized by log-normal distributions. Different realizations of the randomly described formation may assume different hydrological behaviors, and different property variations may exert influences of different significance levels. This study presents a parametric sensitivity and uncertainty analyses of steady-state infiltration through a representative column of the formations at Yucca Mountain.
