  • 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...

  • 2014:20 An evaluation of high-temperature creep of zirconium alloys: data versus models

    In this report Dr Massih presents correlations for creep in different phases of zirconium alloys and also presents a general solution to the difficulty of accurately describing the material properties in phase transition for several zirconium alloys. Based upon superplasticity relations, models are adapted to fit with experimental data for materials in transition regions. The creep models are...

  • 1990:18 Some Estimates of the Total NuclideInventory in the Year 2100 from Swedish Nuclear Power Production

    The total nuclide inventory in spent fuel from the swedish nuclear power programme has been estimated for three cases. All reactors were arrumed to operate until the year 2010 and then shut down simultaneously. All fuel used was assumed to be based on enriched natural uranium. The reactors were assumed to shut down after 25 years of commercial operation, but not later than in the year 2010.

  • 2011:16 Modelling of ultrasonic testing of cracks in cladding

    During the last two decades, SSM has supported research to develop a model for the non-destructive test situation based on ultrasonic technique. Such a model is important in many ways, for example to supplement and plan experimental studies and to perform parametric studies in qualification situation. Modeling can be a useful tool when the inspection system shall be technically justified.

  • 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...

  • 2013:24 Modelling of nuclear fuel cladding under loss-of-coolant accident conditions

    We present a unified model for calculation of zirconium alloy fuel cladding rupture during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident in light water reactors. The model treats the Zr alloy solid-to-solid phase transformation kinetics, cladding creep deformation, oxidation and rupture as a function of temperature and time in an integrated fashion during the transient. The fuel cladding material...

  • 2012:21 Technical Note, Initial Review Phase for SKBs Safety Assessment SR-Site: Corrosion of Copper

    The uniform and localized corrosion treatments as well as stress corrosion cracking positions currently considered by SKB have been examined with the objective of identifying key unresolved issues or gaps, needs and opportunities. In conjunction with the review of the SKB reports listed in Appendix 1, there has been some consideration of the broader literature. This summary highlights the...

  • 2017:33 SSM’s external experts’ review of SKB’s safety assessment SR-PSU – dose assessment, Kd-values, and safety analysis methodology

    Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) received an application for the expansion of SKB’s final repository for low and intermediate level waste at Forsmark (SFR) on the 19 December 2014. SSM is tasked with the review of the application and will issue a statement to the government who will decide on the matter. An important part of the application is SKB’s assessment of the...
