For more than 30 years Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has played a key role in the development and implementation of total system analyses of waste management systems in the United States. Two very important applications have been the total system analysis of long term performance that supported (1) the Compliance Certification Application (CCA) for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in 1996 and (2) the License Application (LA) for the Yucca Mountain (YM) Repository in 2008.
A preliminary investigation of the utility of driving simulators as an assessment and training device for individuals with perceptual motor disabilities indicates a high correlation between simulator and road test performance scores (R = 0.88, p < .001). The use of driving simulators in drivers training programs may provide handicapped individuals with a safe, economical and individualized training environment. However, this study does not address the question of predictive validity and these results should not be used to deny an individual access to training programs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
