2015:30 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Assessing the likelihood and extent of fracture growth in the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark
This review work concerns the evaluation of the likelihood and extent of fracture growth around the deposition tunnels and holes of the planned KBS-3 repository at Forsmark. The issues of the isostatic, shear and thermal loading concerning the stability and evolution of rock fractures around the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark are addressed. Hereby, the thermal, glacial and earthquake scenarios...

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...

2016:21 The effect of a glaciation on East Central Sweden: case studies on present glaciers and analyses of landform data
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority reviews and assesses applications for geological repositories for nuclear waste. When assessing the long term safety of the repositories it is important to consider possible future developments of climate and climate-related processes. Especially the next glaciation is important for the review and assessment for the long term safety of the spent nuclear...

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...
