2024:13 Technical Note, Review of recent research activities conducted by SKB relating to hydro geological aspects of the disposal of radioactive waste
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 a geological disposal facilities. As part of the review, SSM commissions...

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...

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...

2013:14 Approaches used for Clearance of Lands from Nuclear Facilities among Several Countries – Evaluation for Regulatory Input
SSM has recently established new regulations for clearance of materials, rooms, buildings and land (SSMFS 2011:2). The regulations specify that license holders for practices involving ionising radiation shall take measures after the cessation of the practice to achieve clearance of rooms, buildings and land. The regulations state nuclide specific clearance levels in becquerel per m2 for rooms...

2016:30 Measurement of Parameter Values for Predicting Corrosion Phenomena on Copper in Swedish HLNW Repositories
Passivity breakdown and pitting on pure copper, the assumed material for the canisters for the isolation of high-level nuclear waste in Sweden, has been studied in simulated, sulphide- and chloride containing granitic rock groundwater and the data are interpreted in terms of the Point Defect Model (PDM). The results indicated that a sulphide barrier layer forms on the copper surface, and that...

2012:54 Technical Note, Initial Review Phase for SKB´s safety assessment SR-Site: Geological structures and deformation zones, from site investigation to safety assessment
The site selected by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Management Co (SKB) for location of a deep geological repository, i.e. a storage for spent nuclear fuel at about 500 m depth in Precambrian metamorphosed rocks. The location of the site is Forsmark at the northern coast of Uppland and 122 km north of Stockholm. In geological terms Forsmark is located in the central part of the Fennoscandian...

2012:63 Technical Note, Review of Radionuclide Sorption on Bentonite and Forsmark Bedrock Material
Denna rapport granskar sorption-data för bentonit och berg vilka har använts i säkerhetsanalysen SR-Site. Det kan konstateras att härledningen av Kd-värden har gjorts på ett systematiskt sätt och att presentationen av resultat är uttömmande. Kontroller visar att härledning och överföring av resultat kan betraktas som spårbar. Det...
