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...

2015:32 Safe and responsible management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste in Sweden - National Plan
The National Plan describes the general principles (national policies), the legislative, regulatory and organizational framework (national framework) as well as the strategies (national programme and systems) that control the safe and responsible management of spent nuclear fuel and of all types of radioactive waste in Sweden, now and in the future. Flavio Lanaro (project leader), Erica...

2013:37 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics – Evolution of fracture transmissivity within different scenarios in SR-Site – Main Review Phase
The current review assignment consists of a literature review and independent modeling for assessing the importance of fracture transmissivity change especially driven by shear loading due to SKB’s thermal, glacial and earthquake loading scenarios for the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark. In the first part of the report, SKB’s laboratory experiments on shear fracture dilation and extensive...

2012:39 Technical Note, Review of Engineering Geology and Rock Engineering aspects of the construction of a KBS-3 repository at the Forsmark site – Initial Review Phase
In general, the reviewers find that the level of geomechanics data collected and synthesized to date has been impressive in scope and high in quality. The data collected has been incorporated into interlinked analyses concerning construction and operational performance of the repository. There are a number of uncertainties in the data and subsequent analyses that are unavoidable when dealing...

2012:41 Technical Note, Hydrogeological conditions at the Forsmark site
The hydrogeological site description and groundwater models employed in support of SR-Site, in many ways, represent advances in the state of the art for crystalline bedrock where groundwater moves mainly through fractures. Advanced methods are used for representing water-conducting natural features on scales from kilometres down to a meter, as well as excavated portions of the repository...

2012:38 Technical Note, Radiological effects on non-human biota - initial review
The focus of this review was SKB’s assessment of radiological effects on non-human biota in SR-Site according to present regulations and guidance from SSM and it was conducted by Karolina Stark at the Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University. In short, the results from this review show that the completeness of the safety assessment can be questioned regarding considered...

2012:51 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics related to long-term repository and site evolution
In general, SKB demonstrates that they have accumulated a significant set of hydraulic, mechanical and thermal data that is essential for constructing a deep geological repository. The method of data acquisition is robust using the internationally- recognized and suggested methods. The methodology of safety assessment is firmly established by applying the state-of-the-art technology and...
