2013:16 Technical Note, Assessment of PWR fuel depletion and of neutron multiplication factors for intact PWR fuel copper canisters – main review phase
SKB (Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB) in 2011 applied to the Swedish government for approval of a proposed solution for disposal of used fuel from Swedish nuclear power reactors and some relatively minor quantities of other fissile material. This Technical Note contains results of a recent review of the SKB methods used to determine the influence of reactor depletion on keff of intact...

1997:05 SKI SITE-94
The Swedish Industry program for deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste is now in the early stages of the site selection process, with feasibility studies underway in 5 to 10 municipalities. According to the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co., SKB (SKB RD&D Programme, 1995), the ongoing siting process involves selection of two sites for...

2024:01 Stress field modelling of the Forsmark lens – Correlation of stress measurements with stress field simulations
SSM perspective Background and objective Understanding the in-situ stress field in the Forsmark tectonic lens will lay the fundamental basis to characterise the prevailing mechanical and hydraulic behaviour of the rock mass. Only with a good understanding of the geomechanical setting including the stress field an analysis of future rock mass behaviour under the evolution of conditions in a...

2024:13 Technical Note, Review of recent research activities conducted by SKB relating to hydro geological aspects of the disposal of radioactive waste
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) examines the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications in a step-wise review and approval process according to the government’s licence conditions under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of a geological disposal facilities. As part of the review, SSM commissions...

2020:01 Sulphide-induced stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen absorption incopper exposed to sulphide and chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90°C
SSM perspective Background The concept that the Swedish nuclear power industry plans to utilise for the final disposal spent nuclear fuel is called KBS-3 method, which is based on three different barriers to prevent spreading of radioactive substances: copper canisters, bentonite buffers and the surrounding Swedish bedrock. In the current KBS-3 design, the spent nuclear fuel will be placed in...

2010:12 An Evaluation of Models of Bentonite Pore Water Evolution
The pore-water composition of a KBS-3 bentonite buffer may gradually change as a result of reaction between groundwater and buffer minerals. The rather minor occurrences of the most rapidly reacting minerals in the buffer will have the most immediate and observable influences, but contributions from slow reactions of the main bulk clay phases cannot be ruled out. The performance implication...

2012:35 Technical Note, Review of SKB’s Code Documentation and QA for the SR-Site Safety Assessment
This initial review examined the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) code documentation and quality assurance, which is important to the safety assessment SR-Site because the computer codes used must be both suitable for the analyses performed and capable of producing accurate results for those analyses. SKB has prepared a report that summarizes the code documentation...

2010:28 GEMA3D – landscape modelling for dose assessments
Post-closure safety assessments for nuclear waste repositories involve radioecological modelling for an underground source term. Following several decades of research and development, the Swedish Nuclear Waste Management Company (SKB) is approaching a phase of license application. According to SKB’s plans, an application to construct a geological repository will be submitted by the end of...
