2012:41 Technical Note, Hydrogeological conditions at the Forsmark site
The hydrogeological site description and groundwater models employed in support of SR-Site, in many ways, represent advances in the state of the art for crystalline bedrock where groundwater moves mainly through fractures. Advanced methods are used for representing water-conducting natural features on scales from kilometres down to a meter, as well as excavated portions of the repository...

2012:38 Technical Note, Radiological effects on non-human biota - initial review
The focus of this review was SKB’s assessment of radiological effects on non-human biota in SR-Site according to present regulations and guidance from SSM and it was conducted by Karolina Stark at the Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University. In short, the results from this review show that the completeness of the safety assessment can be questioned regarding considered...

2016:16 Technical Note, Possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on copper canisters
Main Review Phase Introduction As part of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) review of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste management company (SKB) license application for a final storage for spent nuclear fuel, SSM has asked for complementary information regarding the effect of stray currents from high voltage cables on copper corrosion (SSM 2012). SKB therefore has performed an...

2013:37 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics – Evolution of fracture transmissivity within different scenarios in SR-Site – Main Review Phase
The current review assignment consists of a literature review and independent modeling for assessing the importance of fracture transmissivity change especially driven by shear loading due to SKB’s thermal, glacial and earthquake loading scenarios for the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark. In the first part of the report, SKB’s laboratory experiments on shear fracture dilation and extensive...

2015:49 Technical Note, Independent Modelling of Engineered Barrier Evolution and Coupled THMC: Canister Corrosion Calculations in SR-Site
Projektets syfte Projektet syftar till att granska olika beräkningsfall för korrosion av kopparkapseln som rapporterats i SKB TR-10-66 och som sammanfattas i SKB TR-11-01. Arbetet omfattar en analys av beräkningsfall relaterade till korrosionshastigheten för intakt buffert, delvis eroderad buffert och för advektiva förhållanden i bufferten. Målsättningen...

2014:54 Technical Note, Further Modelling Comparison of Simple Reference Biosphere Models with the LDF Modelling Approach – Main Review Phase
This Technical Note describes further use of simple reference biosphere models for SSM’s review of the Landscape Dose Factor (LDF) approach adopted by SKB in the SR‑Site safety assessment for the proposed final disposal of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site. Simple biosphere models for the Forsmark site under temperate climate conditions were previously developed for SSM’s review and are...

2014:08 Technical Note, Review of Long-Term Redox Evolution of Groundwater and Potential Influence of Oxygenated Glacial Meltwater in SR-Site
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing an application submitted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) in 2011 to construct, possess, and operate a deep geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site in the municipality of Östhammar, Sweden. SKB has presented details of its long-term safety assessment, SR-Site, in a main report...

2013:34 Technical Note, Seismology – Post-glacial seismicity and paleoseismology at Forsmark
Metoden som SKB använder för att förutse seismisk risk för slutförvaret skiljer sig i två avseenden från gängse förfarande. För det första, förkastningsrörelser inom förvaret är beräknade utifrån numeriska bergmekaniska modeller i stället för genom en Probabilistisk riskanalys för förkastningsrörelse...
