2012:34 Technical Note, Review of FEP Handling in the SR-Site Safety Assessment: Initial Review Phase
On 16th March 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company, SKB, submitted applications for licences to construct a spent nuclear fuel encapsulation facility in Oskarshamn and a repository for final disposal of the encapsulated fuel in Forsmark. SKB’s applications are currently being reviewed by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, and the Land and Environmental Court in...

2012:37 Technical Note, Selective review of the hydrogeological aspects of SR-Site
This review of the hydrogeology is selective. It focuses on the measurement, interpretation and modelling of the potential repository host rock, that is the rock domain FFM01<-400m. It accepts as reasonably accurate the measurement and representation of the more transmissive parts of the hydrogeological system, particularly the near-surface 150m in the form presented by SKB. SKB have decided...

2012:08 Deterministic Assessment of Future Costs for Dismantling (FA)
In this study a model for advanced deterministic cost calculation has been used to find a parametric value on the cost for dismantling of the FA-facility. The study gives good description of good practise to collect, test and utilise input data in a systematic way in order to make prudent cost estimates for any particular nuclear installation The Swedish Law stipulates that future expenses...

2013:27 Numerical simulations of headed anchors break in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete structures
The design codes for anchorage of equipment in concrete structures have been developed since the time the Swedish power plants were designed. Furthermore, the design basis has been updated and in some cases new mechanical loads have been added. As a consequence, it can be difficult for some anchorages to meet the requirements of today. In the design of anchorage equipment the beneficial effect...

2012:03 The IAEA Integrated Regulatory Review Service Mission to Sweden in February 2012
The Swedish Government decided on January 22, 2009 to mandate the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, to apply for an international review of the Author-ity and its areas of supervision, an ‘IRRS’ (Integrated Regulatory Review Service) carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). On February 25, 2009, SSM made a formal request to the IAEA for an IRRS in Sweden. The time...

2022:08 Geophysical surveys on sub marine land- and rock slides and on alpine glaciers
SSM perspective Background The future climate evolution and the impact it might have on a repository for radioactive waste is important when assessing the long-term safety. In a project funded by SSM (Holmlund et al. 2016), bathymetric data from the Southern Quark area between Sweden and Åland, provided by the Swedish Maritime Administration, were analysed, as well as terrestrial data from...

2023:04 Kingdom of Sweden ARTEMIS Self-assessment Report 2023
Foreword In January 2018, the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, submitted a request to the IAEA on behalf of the Swedish Government for international peer reviews to be conducted of the Swedish national frameworks for nuclear safety regulation (IRRS) and the safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste (ARTEMIS). In dialogue with the IAEA, and in support of the then Swedish...

2024:02 Earthquake stationarity and distributed fault displacements, Forsmark repository site
SSM perspective Background and objective Large earthquakes occur predominantly along plate boundaries. Due to this, much of the research have been directed towards this tectonic setting. Also, the general lack of seismicity data in stable continental interiors, such as the Baltic Shield, have impeded estimations, as well as the understanding, of the seismic hazard in these tectonic settings.

2024:15 Techical Note, Review of SKB’s continued work on design development for the 2BMA disposal vault of the SFR repository
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) examines the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications in a step-wise review and approval process according to the government’s licence conditions under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of geological disposal facilities. As part of the review, SSM commissions consultants...

Decommissioning
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority issues regulations governing the planning and undertaking of dismantling activities; what’s more, the Authority performs checks to ensure that the licence holder takes responsibility for the safe decommissioning of the facility.
