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...

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...

2016:21 The effect of a glaciation on East Central Sweden: case studies on present glaciers and analyses of landform data
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority reviews and assesses applications for geological repositories for nuclear waste. When assessing the long term safety of the repositories it is important to consider possible future developments of climate and climate-related processes. Especially the next glaciation is important for the review and assessment for the long term safety of the spent nuclear...

2016:12 SSM’s external experts’ reviews of SKB’s safety assessment SR-PSU – engineered barriers, engineering geology and chemical inventory
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) received an application for the expansion of SKB's final repository for low and intermediate level waste at Forsmark (SFR) on the 19 December 2014. SSM is tasked with the review of the application and will issue a statement to the government who will decide on the matter. An important part of the application is SKB's assessment of...

2016:01 Literature Study on Sparse Channel Interpretation and Modeling
Channelling has been observed in laboratory and field experiments at various scales. However, it is still an open research issue whether a sparse channel network is likely to be a better model than the fracture network model for representing the flow system in fractured rocks. The present report presents a literature study to bring together information useful for addressing this issue.

2016:30 Measurement of Parameter Values for Predicting Corrosion Phenomena on Copper in Swedish HLNW Repositories
Passivity breakdown and pitting on pure copper, the assumed material for the canisters for the isolation of high-level nuclear waste in Sweden, has been studied in simulated, sulphide- and chloride containing granitic rock groundwater and the data are interpreted in terms of the Point Defect Model (PDM). The results indicated that a sulphide barrier layer forms on the copper surface, and that...
