At Hanford, models are used to do things like predict how contamination moves in the environment. In his talk, Tom Sicilia is going to share a brief overview of what models are, what makes them wrong (but useful, sometimes), and some ways they are used at Hanford, including the Cumulative Impact Evaluation. There will be calculus.

The Nuclear Waste Scholar Series is funded through a Public Participation Grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology. The content was reviewed for grant consistency, but is not necessarily endorsed by the agency.
