• 2014:09 Further Development of the Core Simulator CORE SIM: Extension to coupled capabilities for BWRs

  The developed tool is fully MatLab based and requires a set of input data from a commercial static core simulator. The driving perturbation can be specified both as a perturbation in thermo-hydraulic parameters or directly as a perturbation in macroscopic cross-sections. As output, the 3-dimensional spatial distribution of the noise in coolant density, pressure, enthalpy, inlet velocity, fuel...

• 2014:08 Technical Note, Review of Long-Term Redox Evolution of Groundwater and Potential Influence of Oxygenated Glacial Meltwater in SR-Site

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing an application submitted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) in 2011 to construct, possess, and operate a deep geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site in the municipality of Östhammar, Sweden. SKB has presented details of its long-term safety assessment, SR-Site, in a main report...

• 2014:07 Technical Note, Review of the geological mapping and geophysical measurement techniques for the determination of critical properties around deposition holes -Main Review Phase

  This Technical Note reports the findings of a detailed evaluation of the geological and geophysical methods proposed by SKB with respect to their ability, resolution, performance, reliability and robustness to measure the geomechanical parameters critical for determining deposition hole acceptability during repository operation. Addressed are specific questions focusing on the detection of...

• 2014:05 Technical Note, Assessment of flows to deposition holes – Main Review Phase

  SKB’s conceptual model for flow through the fractured rock at Forsmark is based on a division between highly fractured deformation zones (described in terms of deterministic geometry), and the more sparsely fractured rock (described in terms of statistical geometry). The model for the highly fractured deformation zones includes several assumptions that are not strongly supported by data,...

• 2014:01 Cost Estimating for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors in Sweden

  In Sweden, decommissioning cost estimates are core inputs to the process of calculating licensee contributions to the Swedish national fund for radioactive waste management and decommissioning. Under the present system, the decommissioning cost estimates are produced by licensees every three years and formally submitted to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM), which reviews the...
