Day 2, June 24

8:00 - 12:00 Discussion

  1. Given the defined endpoints (Terrestrial Draft Report, Page 2 - 8), how well do the tools presented allow for a probabilistic assessment of the endpoints? What approaches/data could be used to do a probabilistic assessment for those endpoints not fully addressed? (45 minutes)

  2. Are the data recommended by the Terrestrial Draft Report sufficient to develop probabilistic assessments? (1 hour, 30 minutes)

  3. Is the proposed level of refinement process practical and logical? (1 hour)

  4. ECOFRAM concluded that some endpoints could not be assessed probabilistically given the current data and state-of-the-art. That is reproductive, population and ecosystem effects. Do you agree? (1 hour, 15 minutes)

12:00 - 1:00 Lunch

1:00 - 2:30 Closing Discussion

2:30 - 3:15 Public Comments
