Characterization of radioactive contamination using geostatistics

Figure 3: Map of the false negative risk (declaration as clean of an area that is actually contaminated)



  • Figure 1: Three phenomena with the same statistical distribution (at left) but with significantly different spatial structures (corresponding variograms at right)
  • Figure 2: Support effect impact on spatial structure. Dashed line: experimental variance.
