Abstract:  Performance and risk assessments play an important role to support decision-making for waste management, decommissioning, and environmental remediation.  Potential long-term hazards, stakeholder concerns and uncertainties associated with natural and engineered systems pose a variety of challenges to justifying assumptions and defending conclusions of modeling activities.  This webinar will present historical perspectives and practical experiences associated with policy and technical challenges of interest to practitioners, regulators, and stakeholders in general.
