  • Description: To exemplify the problem, Orrin H. Pilkey and Linda Pilkey-Jarvis examine the use of such models in seven fields: radioactive waste disposal, fisheries, global sea-level change, plant invasions, beach nourishment, shoreline erosion, and mine-pit water quality. Contributing to the erroneous results at Yucca Mountain were climate change over a long time frame, insufficient empirical study of the chemical reactions of the waste or the degradation of waste containers and a titanium shield, and magnification of errors through the interdependence of hundreds of submodels.
