• 2008:05 International Expert Review of SR-Can: Safety Assessment Methodology - External review contribution in support of SSI's and SKI's review of SR-Can

  In 2006, SKB published a safety assessment (SR-Can) as part of its work to support a licence application for the construction of a final repository for spent nuclear fuel. The report represented the culmination of work conducted by SKB over several years, focusing on the goal of making the licence application in late 2009. Results from the SR-Can project have been documented in several...

• SKI Report 2008:01 Reliability Data for piping Components in Nordic Nuclear Poer Plants "R-Book" Project Phase 1

  SKI Report 2008:01 - “Reliability Data for Piping Components in Nordic Nuclear Power Plants - R-Book Project Phase I” – is a planning document for a new R&D project to develop a piping component reliability parameter handbook for use in probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and related activities. Included in this handbook will be pipe leak failure rates and rupture frequencies that are...

• 2008:38 Methodology for description and evaluation of cost profiles and cost structure during transitions period

  A demanding task for our generation is to assure the appropriate financial resources are invested in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. This will enable future generations to execute the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear power reactors and other nuclear facilities in a prudent manner. The main aim is to fulfil the demands of environmental and health codes in a pan-European context...

• 2008:18 Concerns when designing a safeguards approach for the back-end of the Swedish nuclear fuel cycle

  Sweden has for many years collected the spent nuclear fuel originating from nuclear power plants. This fuel must at all times be kept under supervision to render a diversion impossible; this is of course due to the possibility to make weapons from the material. One idea is to keep the nuclear material in a repository deep under the ground; this is not only to keep the material safe from theft...

• SSM Report 2008:01 A combined deterministic and probabilistic procedure for safety assessment of components with cracks – Handbook

  SSM has supported research work for the further development of a previously developed procedure/handbook (SKI Report 99:49) for assessment of detected cracks and tolerance for defect analysis. During the operative use of the handbook it was identified needs to update the deterministic part of the procedure and to introduce a new probabilistic flaw evaluation procedure. Another identified need...

• 2008:23 SKI’s and SSI’s review of SKB’s safety report SR-Can

  This report summarises the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority’s (SSI) joint review of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel & Waste Management Co’s (SKB) safety report SR-Can, on post-closure safety for a KBS-3 spent nuclear fuel repository at Forsmark and Laxemar respectively (SKB TR-06-09). As of 1 July 2008 the Swedish Radiation Safety...

• 2008:29e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2007

  The safety level of the plants is maintained at an acceptable level. SKI has in its regulatory supervision not found any known deficiencies in the barriers which could result in release of radioactive substances in excess of the permitted levels. SKI considers that improvements have been implemented during the year in the management, control and following up of safety work at the plants. In...

• 2008:47 Selected Models for Key Processes in a Nuclear Waste Repository

  The conceptual design of the disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden is based on a multibarrier system. In the KBS-3 concept, the bentonite buffer is a barrier with the primary purpose of surrounding and protecting the canister. The bentonite buffer is expected to prevent or minimise the water exchange with the surrounding rock and protect the canister against mechanical damages caused by...

• 2008:48E Review Statement and Evaluation of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co´s (SKB) RD&D Programme 2007

  The review of the RD&D Programmes (Research, Development, Demonstration) prepared by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) is a recurrent task that the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) must carry out as a regulatory authority with the support of reviewing bodies of which the most important is the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI). The review statement for...

• 2008:08 Review of SKB:s Work on Coupled THM Processes Within SR-Can External review contribution in support of SKI:s and SSI:s

  The work presented in this report is part of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority’s (SSI) SR-Can review project. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) plans to submit a license application for the construction of a repository for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden 2010. In support of this application SKB will present a safety...
