2009:28 Biogeochemistry of Redox at Repository Depth and Implications for the Canister
The present groundwater chemical conditions at the candidate sites for a spent nuclear fuel repository in Sweden (the Forsmark and Laxemar sites) and processes affecting its future evolution comprise essential conditions for the evaluation of barrier performance and long-term safety. This report reviews available chemical sampling information from the site investigations at the candidate...

2010:05 Discrete-Feature Model Implementation of SDM-Site Forsmark
SSM has been following the investigations of the two candidate sites for a repository for spent nuclear fuel that the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) have been undertaking. SKB has reported the results of the investigations as site descriptive models. These models will be used to underpin the safety analysis following the license application of the repository planned...

2013:14 Approaches used for Clearance of Lands from Nuclear Facilities among Several Countries – Evaluation for Regulatory Input
SSM has recently established new regulations for clearance of materials, rooms, buildings and land (SSMFS 2011:2). The regulations specify that license holders for practices involving ionising radiation shall take measures after the cessation of the practice to achieve clearance of rooms, buildings and land. The regulations state nuclide specific clearance levels in becquerel per m2 for rooms...

2016:23 Technical Note, Modelling of the thermal evolution of the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark and associated induced seismic activity
Main Review Phase Introduction The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) reviews the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of the KBS-3 repository for spent nuclear fuel and for an encapsulation facility. As part of the review, SSM commissions consultants to carry out work in order to obtain...

2015:22 Technical Note, Further modelling and sensitivity study using the GEMA-Site “alternative biosphere models” and review of material from SKB’s RFI response
Denna rapport har upprättats som en del av SSM:s huvudgranskning av SKB:s säkerhetsanalys av den långsiktiga säkerheten för KBS-3 (SR-Site), en geologisk slutförvarsanläggning, som SKB planerar uppföra i Forsmark. Granskningen tar upp de metoder som används för dosberäkningar i SR-Site, speciellt vad gäller transporter, ackumulering och...

2016:05 Technical Note, Assessment of SKB TR-14-15 Assessment of SKB TR-14-15 “Possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on copper canisters”
The general objective of the present project is to provide independent review comments for one area of SKB:s post closure safety analysis, SR-Site. With this in mind, the purpose of this report is to review SKB’s presentation on possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on a repository for nuclear fuel. Laust B Pedersen SSM English The general objective of...

1994:08 The content and environmentalimpact from the waste depositoryin Sillamae
The studies of the waste depository in Sillamae, Estonia, shows that the content as well as the wall material is typical tailings from chemical enrichment of uranium ore. The environmental impact from radioactive substances as well as heavy metals has been estimated. Results show the major radiological impact to the population in the Sillamae town is the exposure to radon and its daughter...

2013:36 Technical Note, Review and assessment of aspects of the Qeq concept – Main Review Phase
This technical review assignment considers the models and abstractions that Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) developed to represent transport of dissolved constituents in the near field at the Forsmark site, in particular the Qeq abstraction for diffusive transport. SKB uses the Qeq parameter to scale concentration gradients in order to estimate dissolved-species fluxes...

2012:71 Identification of Brittle Deformation Zones and Weakness Zones
In preparation for the review of Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company’s (SKB) license application for disposal of spent nuclear fuel, Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is conducting studies to evaluate the performance of the multi-barrier principle on which the KBS-3 concept is based. Copper canisters containing the spent nuclear fuel are placed into granitic bedrock at...
