2016:23 Technical Note, Modelling of the thermal evolution of the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark and associated induced seismic activity
Main Review Phase Introduction The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) reviews the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of the KBS-3 repository for spent nuclear fuel and for an encapsulation facility. As part of the review, SSM commissions consultants to carry out work in order to obtain...

2016:05 Technical Note, Assessment of SKB TR-14-15 Assessment of SKB TR-14-15 “Possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on copper canisters”
The general objective of the present project is to provide independent review comments for one area of SKB:s post closure safety analysis, SR-Site. With this in mind, the purpose of this report is to review SKB’s presentation on possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on a repository for nuclear fuel. Laust B Pedersen SSM English The general objective of...

2012:53 Technical Note, Review of Engineering Geology and Rock Engineering aspects of the operation and closure of a KBS-3 repository at the Forsmark site – Initial Review Phase
SRK Consulting (UK) Limited (SRK) has reviewed the Engineering Geology and Rock Engineering aspects of the operation and closure of a KBS-3 repository at the Forsmark site in Sweden. The review assignment is part of a Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) Initial Review Phase. The review was carried out by David Saiang (PhD) on behalf of SRK. Therefore some of the views expressed in the...

2012:57 Technical Note, Shear movement of near-field rock due to large earthquakes
This technical note is part of a set of reviews for Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) by external experts to assist with the Initial Review Phase. The overall goal of the Initial Review Phase is for SSM to achieve a broad coverage of the information provided in SR-Site and its supporting references and in particular to identify where complementary information or clarifications need to...

2012:67 Technical Note, Hydrogeological modelling of the Forsmark site
A modelling study has been conducted using discrete-fracture network (DFN) models in combination with discrete-feature hydrogeological modelling methods for representation of other potentially conductive features such as the disturbed zone around repository tunnels. The principal results consist of hydraulic and transport property estimates for discrete-fracture network (DFN) models on block...

2012:52 Technical Note, Shear movement of near-field rock due to large earthquakes
The review assignment concentrates on the possible impact of large earthquakes on the shear deformation of large fractures in the repository volume. For this purpose a general review of some of SKB‘s top-level reports was carried out. The reports draw a generally consistent and to a considerable extend comprehensive picture of the potential impact on the repository integrity in case of the...

2012:59 Technical Note, Initial review phase – Dose Assessment Methodology
This report has been prepared as part of the Initial Review Phase of SKB’s SR-Site performance assessment of the long-term safety of the KBS-3 geological disposal facility (GDF) proposed for construction at Forsmark. The review addresses the methodology employed in the dose assessment calculations of SR-Site. In this respect the review has a natural focus upon biosphere modelling aspects of...

2012:49 Hydrogeological characteristics of sites for low- and intermediate-level waste disposal
The Forsmark area with its selected two sites and the Laxemar-Simpevarp area with its two sites are broadly similar in terms of lithology, rock ages, and tectonic histories. The two areas differ in terms of degree of deformation, and tectonic fabric. Some lithologic and tectonic differences are noticeable between the two sites in the Forsmark area and between the two sites in the...

2012:46 Technical Note, Review of Landscape Models used in SR-Site
As part of SSM’s Initial Review phase of SKB’s SR-Site safety assessment for the proposed final disposal of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site, Quintessa was given the assignment to consider whether the landscape models and supporting data utilised by SKB are appropriate and fit for purpose. This Technical Note summarises the findings of Quintessa’s review. SKB’s approach to the...
