Figure 4: Estimated probability of disruption of the HLW repository,
calculated using method 1, varies with the number of near neighbors used
in the nonhomogeneous model. Calculations are made for the probability
of a volcano forming within an 8 km2
block at the Yucca Mountain repository site (Figure 1), during the next
10,000 years, using data set 1 (solid triangles) and data set 2 (open triangles).
