• 2016:30 Measurement of Parameter Values for Predicting Corrosion Phenomena on Copper in Swedish HLNW Repositories

  Passivity breakdown and pitting on pure copper, the assumed material for the canisters for the isolation of high-level nuclear waste in Sweden, has been studied in simulated, sulphide- and chloride containing granitic rock groundwater and the data are interpreted in terms of the Point Defect Model (PDM). The results indicated that a sulphide barrier layer forms on the copper surface, and that...

• 2016:23 Technical Note, Modelling of the thermal evolution of the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark and associated induced seismic activity

  Main Review Phase Introduction The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) reviews the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of the KBS-3 repository for spent nuclear fuel and for an encapsulation facility. As part of the review, SSM commissions consultants to carry out work in order to obtain...

• 2016:21 The effect of a glaciation on East Central Sweden: case studies on present glaciers and analyses of landform data

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority reviews and assesses applications for geological repositories for nuclear waste. When assessing the long term safety of the repositories it is important to consider possible future developments of climate and climate-related processes. Especially the next glaciation is important for the review and assessment for the long term safety of the spent nuclear...

• 2016:16 Technical Note, Possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on copper canisters

  Main Review Phase Introduction As part of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) review of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste management company (SKB) license application for a final storage for spent nuclear fuel, SSM has asked for complementary information regarding the effect of stray currents from high voltage cables on copper corrosion (SSM 2012). SKB therefore has performed an...

• 2016:12 SSM’s external experts’ reviews of SKB’s safety assessment SR-PSU – engineered barriers, engineering geology and chemical inventory

  Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) received an application for the expansion of SKB's final repository for low and intermediate level waste at Forsmark (SFR) on the 19 December 2014. SSM is tasked with the review of the application and will issue a statement to the government who will decide on the matter. An important part of the application is SKB's assessment of...

• 2016:05 Technical Note, Assessment of SKB TR-14-15 Assessment of SKB TR-14-15 “Possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on copper canisters”

  The general objective of the present project is to provide independent review comments for one area of SKB:s post closure safety analysis, SR-Site. With this in mind, the purpose of this report is to review SKB’s presentation on possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on a repository for nuclear fuel.

• 2016:01 Literature Study on Sparse Channel Interpretation and Modeling

  Channelling has been observed in laboratory and field experiments at various scales. However, it is still an open research issue whether a sparse channel network is likely to be a better model than the fracture network model for representing the flow system in fractured rocks. The present report presents a literature study to bring together information useful for addressing this issue.
