2012:54 Technical Note, Initial Review Phase for SKB´s safety assessment SR-Site: Geological structures and deformation zones, from site investigation to safety assessment
The site selected by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Management Co (SKB) for location of a deep geological repository, i.e. a storage for spent nuclear fuel at about 500 m depth in Precambrian metamorphosed rocks. The location of the site is Forsmark at the northern coast of Uppland and 122 km north of Stockholm. In geological terms Forsmark is located in the central part of the Fennoscandian...

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...

2019:03 Evaluation of the hydrodynamic model in PARET/ANL
Background The fuel rod analysis program SCANAIR has been developed by IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire) for analysis of reactivity initiated accidents (RIA) in light water reactors. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has access to SCANAIR in exchange for annual contributions for its further development. This ensures a possibility for SSM to do...
