A Comparative Study of Risk Assessment and Management in theU.S. and Japan

关于“美国和日本风险评估和管理的比较研究”的第二期研讨会将继续从1984年10月在日本举行的第一次研讨会开始的活动。会议期间，将对防洪、大坝安全、地下水污染、地震和危险废物控制等主题的案例研究进行审查和比较。对于每一种情况，将讨论概率风险评估、不确定性的处理、用于量化风险功能的技术、数据库的状态和信息管理等领域。将提出所需研究的建议，并将公布会议记录。

The second workshop on "Comparative Studies of Risk Assessment and Management in the U.S. and Japan" will continue the activities started with the first workshop that took place in Japan, October 1984. During the meeting, case studies on such topics flood control, dam safety, groundwater contamination, earthquake and hazardous waste control will be examined and compared. For each case, areas such as the assessment of probabilistic risk the handling of uncertainty, the techniques used for quantifying risk functions, the status of databases, and the management of information will be discussed. Recommendations for research needed will be made and proceedings will be published.
