A Review of the High‐Level Nuclear Waste Repository Siting Analysis

Robin Gregory and Sarah Lichtenstein

Risk Analysis, 1987, vol. 7, issue 2, 219-223

Abstract: We critique two 1986 Department of Energy reports concerning the selection of sites for characterization as the nation's first high‐level nuclear waste repository. We find that the multiattribute utility analysis of the five nominated sites was well done, although we express concern about the assessed probabilities, question the construction of two important attribute scales, and disagree with some of the value tradeoffs that were used. In contrast, we find the logic of the recommendations report to be weak and unconvincing.
