Análisis de incertidumbres. La falta de conocimiento profundo de los procesos físicos involucrados en la generación, propagación y atenuación de la energía, y la imprecisión de los modelos físico-matemáticos empleados para describir todos ellos, son factores que introducen gran incertidumbre en los resultados del análisis probabilista de la peligrosidad. Ante la imposibilidad de eliminar por completo estas incertidumbres, se han desarrollado técnicas de reconocimiento, cuantificación y, en la medida de lo posible, reducción de las mismas.
