2014:43 Technical Note, Workshop on general corrosion of copper
This report describes the outcome of the workshop organized by SSM on general corrosion of copper that was held in Stockholm on the 26-27th of August, 2013. The report summarizes the issues discussed and extracts the essential viewpoints that have been expressed. It should not be considered as a comprehensive record of all the discussions at the workshop and individual statements made by...

2014:55 Technical Note, Further Reproduction of SKB’s Calculation Cases and Independent
Som en del av säkerhetsanalysen SR-Site presenterar SKB modellresultat som illustrerar kapseln och buffertens säkerhetsfunktioner. I var och en av de fem beräkningsfallen är delar av kapsel och/eller buffert frånvarande i modellen av slutförvarssystemet. Modellresultaten jämförs inte med säkerhetskriterier eftersom beräkningsfallen innehåller...

2014:44 Technical Note, Independent evaluation of the number of critical canister positions in the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark – Main Review Phase
Independent calculations were carried out to estimate Ncrit, the number of canisters in critical positions that can be expected in the proposed repository at Forsmark, based on statistical simulations of SKB's geological discrete-fracture network (Geo-DFN) models, and taking into account SKB's full-perimeter criterion (FPC) and extended full-perimeter criterion (EFPC) to screen out...

2014:39 Technical Note, “Wormhole” and Multiple Loss of Buffer Safety Function Scenarios
This Technical Notes reviewed the issues that may cause canister corrosion other than the cases evaluated by SKB, which may belong to “What-if” canister corrosion scenarios. This Notes, in particular, addressed two potential canister corrosion scenarios: “wormhole” formation and loss of multiple buffer safety functions. The “wormhole” scenario was hypothesized during the SSM Workshop on...

2014:46 Technical Note, QA in SKB’s Groundwater Flow Modelling
The general objective of the project is to provide review comments on SKB’s postclosure safety analysis, SR-Site, for the proposed repository at Forsmark. The specific objective is to get an understanding and an assessment of SKB’s quality assurance of the groundwater flow modelling in connection to SR-Site. The reliability of the results of the groundwater flow modelling depends inter alia...

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...

2014:08 Technical Note, Review of Long-Term Redox Evolution of Groundwater and Potential Influence of Oxygenated Glacial Meltwater in SR-Site
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing an application submitted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) in 2011 to construct, possess, and operate a deep geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site in the municipality of Östhammar, Sweden. SKB has presented details of its long-term safety assessment, SR-Site, in a main report...

2013:34 Technical Note, Seismology – Post-glacial seismicity and paleoseismology at Forsmark
Metoden som SKB använder för att förutse seismisk risk för slutförvaret skiljer sig i två avseenden från gängse förfarande. För det första, förkastningsrörelser inom förvaret är beräknade utifrån numeriska bergmekaniska modeller i stället för genom en Probabilistisk riskanalys för förkastningsrörelse...

2014:11 Technical Note, Radionuclide Solubility Limits in SKB’s Safety Case
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing a license application, which has been submitted by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB), for a spent nuclear fuel repository at Forsmark. This technical note records the findings from a project that forms part of the main phase of SSM’s license application review. The project involved review of reports and independent modelling...

2014:10 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Confidence of SKB’s models for predicting the occurrence of spalling – Main Review Phase
This review study is placed in the context of SSM’s Main Review Phase for SKB’s safety assessment SR-Site. The assignment is titled “Rock Mechanics – Confidence of SKB’s models for predicting the occurrence of spalling”. The report presents the authors’ assessment in response to the questions raised by SSM. The review concentrated on two main issues: (1) the analysis of the assumptions made...
