  • 2007:12 Development of a constitutive model for the plastic deformation and creep of copper and its use in the estimate of the creep life of the copper canister

    The copper-iron canister for disposal of nuclear waste in the Swedish Programme has a design life exceeding 100,000 years. Whilst the operating temperature and operating stress are modest, the very long design life does require that the likely creep performance of the canister should be investigated. Many studies have been carried out by SKB but these have all involved very short duration...

  • 2007:10 DECOVALEX-THMC - Task D

    The DECOVALEX project is an international cooperative project initiated by SKI, the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate, with participation of about 10 international organizations. The name DECOVALEX stands for DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against Experiments. The general goal of this project is to encourage multidisciplinary interactive and cooperative research on...

  • 2006:36 Mechanical Integrity of Canisters Using a Fracture Mechanics Approach

    This report presents the methods and results of a research project for Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) about numerical modeling of mechanical integrity of cast-iron canisters for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden, using combined boundary element (BEM) and finite element (FEM) methods The objectives of the project are: 1) to investigate the possibility of initiation...

  • 1997:05 SKI SITE-94

    The Swedish Industry program for deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste is now in the early stages of the site selection process, with feasibility studies underway in 5 to 10 municipalities. According to the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co., SKB (SKB RD&D Programme, 1995), the ongoing siting process involves selection of two sites for...

  • 1990:18 Some Estimates of the Total NuclideInventory in the Year 2100 from Swedish Nuclear Power Production

    The total nuclide inventory in spent fuel from the swedish nuclear power programme has been estimated for three cases. All reactors were arrumed to operate until the year 2010 and then shut down simultaneously. All fuel used was assumed to be based on enriched natural uranium. The reactors were assumed to shut down after 25 years of commercial operation, but not later than in the year 2010.
