  • 2010:08 Development of COLLAGE 3

    The issue of colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport (CFRT) was last addressed by the Swedish nuclear regulators (SKI at that time, now integrated into SSM) in 2001 – 2002. SKI had commissioned the Collage code with subsequent development as Collage 2. This code was employed to investigate the potential role for colloids to have been involved in the transport of radionuclides at the Nevada...

  • 2018:15 Review of Geochemical Data Utilisation in SR-Site Safety Assessment

    The objective of this study is to understand how data for groundwater compositions were used in producing the Site Descriptive Model for Forsmark and as input data for the safety assessment, SRSite. Improving this understanding sheds further light on the significance of data uncertainties, data processing and interpretation on the degree of uniqueness in the descriptive model, parameterisation...

  • 2018:08 Calculated radiological consequences of applying European clearance levels to scrap metal from the decommissioning of Swedish nuclear facilities

    Background Many practices involving radioactive substances generate materials with potential or known radioactive contamination. Clearance of materials means a decision that such materials can be released from regulatory control and used or disposed of without restrictions from a radiation protection point of view. According to regulations issued by the SSM, such decisions must be based on...

  • 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.
