NATIONAL-SCALE MULTIMEDIA RISK ASSESSMENT FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL

Citation:

Babendreier, J E. NATIONAL-SCALE MULTIMEDIA RISK ASSESSMENT FOR HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL. Presented at International Workshop on Uncertainty, Sensitivity, and Parameter Estimation for Multimedia Environmental Modeling, Rockville, MD, August 19-21, 2003.

Impact/Purpose:

The primary goals are to: (1) Construct a 400-node PC-based supercomputing cluster supporting Windows and Linux computer operating systems (i.e. SuperMUSE: Supercomputer for Model Uncertainty and Sensitivity Evaluation); (2) Develop platform-independent system software for the management of SuperMUSE and parallelization of EPA models and modeling systems for implementation on SuperMUSE (and other PC-based clusters); (3) Conduct uncertainty and sensitivity analyses of the 3MRA modeling system; (4) Develop advanced algorithmic software for advanced statistical sampling methods, and screening, localized, and global sensitivity analyses; and (5) Provide customer-oriented model applications for probabilistic risk assessment supporting quality assurance in multimedia decision-making.
