Lunch & Learn - Accuracy and uncertainty in determination of SF inventory

“Plus minus what?” 

Uncertainty in destructive spent nuclear fuel inventory analysis

All analytical results of an analysis come (or should come) with an uncertainty.  This uncertainty, the “plus/minus number”, is often just taken for granted by the user of the results, without much further thought.  In this talk, we shall explore in more detail what is hidden (or not) behind the uncertainty number of a destructive spent nuclear fuel analysis. The aim is to raise users’ awareness of the multiple parameters reflected in that single uncertainty number.
