• 2007:03 Variability and Uncertainties of Key Hydrochemical Parameters for SKB Sites

  An important part of the site investigations conducted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) is the characterisation of groundwater chemical conditions in the deep bedrock environment where a final repository for spent nuclear fuel is planned to be located. This work is currently in its final stages at the two candidate sites, Forsmark and Laxemar, and should be...

• 2007:02 Stakeholder involvement in Swedish nuclear waste management

  This report have attempted to show the development of stakeholder involvement in the siting of a final repository for Sweden’s spent nuclear fuel as resembling something other than a straightforward linear process of improvement and refinement. Stakeholder involvement has developed, over the past 15 years or so, in something more like a patchwork of different shapes and forms. Some of the...

• 2007:09 DECOVALEX-THMC - Task C

  This report describes the results of Task C1 of the international DECOVALEX– THMC project devoted to Excavation Damage Zone (EDZ) in argillaceous rock at the Tournemire site in France. Task C of the project is aimed to understand the physical phenomena induced by excavation in the argillaceous rock. The task is to develop adequate numerical models for interpretation of observed damaged zones...

• 2007:23 On Safety Management, A Frame of Reference for Studies of Safety Management with Examples From Non-Nuclear Contexts of Relevance for Nuclear Safety

  The authors present the theoretical framework. There they also discuss the pros of using the system perspective to build a useful frame of reference of safety management using non- nuclear organizations; this as a way to create models useful for the nuclear power industry but based on general understanding of the concept of safety management. The chosen organizations are used extensively to...

• 2007:22 Safety Management An Introduction to a Frame of Reference Exemplified with Case Studies from Non-Nuclear Contexts

  A systems perspective has been applied on safety management that will be the foundation for the frame of reference the authors intend to build during the three-year long project. The case studies are presented and form illustrations of both high quality safety management and weaknesses of the safety management and take a look at information feedback about the risks of the systems. An...

• 2007:39 Influence of Crack Morphology on Leak Before Break Margins

  The SKI regulation SKIFS 2004:2 allows for the use of Leak Before Break (LBB) as one way to provide assurance that adequate protection exists against the local dynamic consequences of a pipe break. The way to demonstrate that LBB prevails relies on a deterministic procedure for which a leakage crack is postulated in certain sections of the pipe based on the leak detection capability of the...

• 2007:37 Identification of Common Cause Initiating Events Using the NEA IRS Database

  The study carried out within the framework of this project is a continuation of work conducted for SKI in 1998 on the identification of Common Cause Initiators based on operational events documented in the NEA Incident Reporting System (IRS). This project covered the events reported in the IRS database with the incident date in the period of 1980- 01-01 – 2006-11-15. The events of highest...

• 2007:24 Safety Management in Non-Nuclear Contexts Examples from Swedish Railway Regulatory and Company Perspectives

  The authors describe important features of safety management and the results are modelled according to the systems perspective developed. These are definitions of safety management, the structure of the organizations, organizational change, regulatory and operational activities, safety strategy, threats to safety, information management and feedback, incident and accident reporting, and...

• 2007:14 Review of experimental data for modelling LWR fuel cladding behaviour under loss of coolant accident conditions

  This project has contributed to the research goal of giving a basis for SKIs supervision by means of evaluating experimental data and modelling the nuclear fuel cladding during a design base accident. The project has also contributed to the research goal to develop the competence about licensing of fuel at high burnup, which is an important safety issue. The results are useful as such, but...
