Syntactic constraints on antecedent-anaphor relations can be stated within the theory of Lexical Functional Grammar (henceforth LFG) through the use of functional uncertainty (Kaplan and Maxwell 1988; Halvorsen and Kaplan 1988; Ksplan and Zaenen 1989). In the following, we summarize the general characteristics of syntactic constraints on anaphoric binding. Next, we describe a variation of funct...

This report uses hypothetical decommissioning test cases to illustrate an uncertainty assessment methodology for dose assessments conducted as part of decommissioning analyses for NRC-licensed facilities. This methodology was pre sented previously in NUREG/CR-6656. The hypothetical test case source term and scenarios are based on an actual decommissioning case and the physical setting is based ...

Temporal formalisms are useful in several applications such as planning scheduling and diagnosis Probabilistic temporal rea soning emerged to deal with the uncer tainties usually encountered in such ap plications Bayesian networks provide a simple compact graphical representation of a probability distribution by exploit ing conditional independencies This pa per presents a simple technique for ...

This report addresses issues related to the analysis of uncer tainty in dose assessments conducted as part of decommis sioning analyses. The analysis is limited to the hydrologic aspects of the exposure pathway involving infiltration of water at the ground surface, leaching of contaminants, and transport of contaminants through the groundwater to a point of exposure. The basic conceptual models...
