2012:44 Technical Note, Review of Matrix Diffusion and related properties of intact rock in SKB’s Licence Application for a Spent Nuclear Fuel Repository in Forsmark, Sweden
This report summarizes a review of SKB’s theoretical development of matrix diffusion, its associated processes and parameters, and the data supporting calculations of matrix diffusion. In addition to diffusion, this review covers matrix porosity, the formation factor, matrix diffusivity, penetration depth, and measurement of some of these parameters with electrical methods. Sorption and the...

2012:47 C-14 Long-Term Dose Assessment: Data Review, Scenario Development, and Model Comparison
BIOPROTA (www.bioprota.org) is an international collaboration forum which seeks to provide a transparent and traceable basis for the choices of parameter values, as well as for the wider interpretation of information used in assessments. Particular emphasis is placed on data required for the assessment of long-lived radionuclide migration and accumulation in the biosphere, and the associated...

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...

2007:26 Safety Culture Enhancement Project Final Report
At the International Conference on Safety Culture in Nuclear Installations, organized by IAEA in 2002, one concluding remark was that the regulators should encourage a sincere interest in safety culture among licensees. In line with this SKI wanted to explore a proactive path to encourage the licensees in their safety culture work. SKI also had the ambition to gain more information on the MTO...

2007:31e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2006
Safety related problems in the electric systems of the Forsmark 1 reactor were the dominant event in Swedish nuclear power plants in 2006. The incident has had a significant impact on our attitude towards the reliability of how safety systems function both in Sweden and abroad. In connection with SKI’s review of the incident it was found that the company’s management system was not...

2019:15 3D Thermo-Mechanical Coupled Modelling of Thermo-Seismic Response of a Fractured Rock Mass related to the Final Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and Nuclear Waste in Hard Rock
SSM perspective Background When assessing the long-term safety of a repository for spent nuclear fuel it is important to consider future earthquakes. Previous studies by Yoon et al. (2014, SSM Report 2014:59) and (2016, SSM Report 2016:23) investigated the fracture responses due to heat and earthquakes at major deformation zones using a 2D thermo-mechanical coupled model that uses a Particle...
