2021:13 SSM’s external experts’ review of SKB’s safety evaluation SE-SFL
SSM perspective Background In Sweden long-lived low- and intermediate level radioactive waste is planned to be disposed in a repository (SFL) in the Swedish crystalline rock at a depth around 500 m. The waste contains mainly the long-lived wastes from the operation and decommissioning of the Swedish nuclear reactor plants, as well as the long-lived wastes from early research in the Swedish...

2023:11 Study of degradation of spent fuel’s structural material and core components under long-term wet storage
SSM perspective Background Sweden is managing the spent nuclear fuel and core components from its commercial nuclear reactors with a national strategic plan. The fuel and core components are initially stored at the reactor site. After an on-site storage period to comply with transportation limits on decay heat and radiation, these materials are shipped to the Clab (Central Interim Storage...

2025:02 INCLUDE: Including (local) stakeholder participation in the regulatory mission – a future challenge
SSM perspective Background The primary focus of SSM’s communication with stakeholders in relation to the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and nuclear waste has for several years been on formal consultation processes surrounding the Swedish nuclear power industry’s research and development programme as well as SKB’s licence applications under the Nuclear Activities Act. Following licensing by...

The international radiation protection school in Stockholm attracts participants from over 20 countries
For five days, at Stockholm University, international early and mid-career radiation protection experts gather to develop their knowledge in radiation protection. The course alternates between theory and practice and provides in-depth knowledge and understanding on the structure and application of the international system for radiation protection.

Technical Note
Tecnical Note About Technical Note Under the Act on Nuclear Activities, the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) reviews SKB’s applications concerning a repository for spent nuclear fuel and an encapsulation facility. As part of this review work, SSM commissions consultants to obtain information and provide expert opinions on specific issues. SSM’s Technical Note series reports on these...

2011:13 Investigation of Discrete-Fracture Network Conceptual Model Uncertainty at Forsmark
Flow modelling using alternative assumptions regarding conceptual and parametric uncertainty in the spatial and structural relationships among fractures indicates elevated flow rates and groundwater velocities to deposition holes compared to SKB’s flow modelling results. Simulated sampling of fractures in boreholes does not indicate any reason to exclude the proposed spatial and structural...

2008:09 The Generalised Ecosystem Modelling Approach in radiological assessment
An independent modelling capability is required by SSI in order to evaluate dose assessments carried out in Sweden by, amongst others, SKB. The main focus is the evaluation of the long-term radiological safety of radioactive waste repositories for both spent fuel and low-level radioactive waste. To meet the requirement for an independent modelling tool for use in biosphere dose assessments,...
