2021:19 Importance Sampling Time-Domain Random Walk (ISTIDRAW) Version 1.0 User Guide A Code for Radionuclide Transport in Pathway Networks
SSM perspective Background To support regulatory review of post-closure safety assessments of geological disposal systems it is of importance to possess regulatory independent modelling capacity. Typically, SSM’s independent modelling includes performing simple scoping calculations, utilizing the implementer’s own models with other equation solvers, or defining alternative conceptual models.

2022:08 Geophysical surveys on sub marine land- and rock slides and on alpine glaciers
SSM perspective Background The future climate evolution and the impact it might have on a repository for radioactive waste is important when assessing the long-term safety. In a project funded by SSM (Holmlund et al. 2016), bathymetric data from the Southern Quark area between Sweden and Åland, provided by the Swedish Maritime Administration, were analysed, as well as terrestrial data from...

2024:02 Earthquake stationarity and distributed fault displacements, Forsmark repository site
SSM perspective Background and objective Large earthquakes occur predominantly along plate boundaries. Due to this, much of the research have been directed towards this tectonic setting. Also, the general lack of seismicity data in stable continental interiors, such as the Baltic Shield, have impeded estimations, as well as the understanding, of the seismic hazard in these tectonic settings.
