2014:58 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Assessing probability and extent of blind faults and fault-end growth around the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark – Main Review Phase
To get a general understanding of the stability conditions of the fault and deformation zone inventory at Forsmark a reactivation potential analysis was carried out. At present-day stress conditions the deformation zones are stable and show no large deformations or detected seismicity. Any changes in stress, and in particular increase of differential stress on deformation zones, might cause...

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...

2016:01 Literature Study on Sparse Channel Interpretation and Modeling
Channelling has been observed in laboratory and field experiments at various scales. However, it is still an open research issue whether a sparse channel network is likely to be a better model than the fracture network model for representing the flow system in fractured rocks. The present report presents a literature study to bring together information useful for addressing this issue.

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...

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...

2015:32 Safe and responsible management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste in Sweden - National Plan
The National Plan describes the general principles (national policies), the legislative, regulatory and organizational framework (national framework) as well as the strategies (national programme and systems) that control the safe and responsible management of spent nuclear fuel and of all types of radioactive waste in Sweden, now and in the future. Flavio Lanaro (project leader), Erica...

2017:28 SSM’s external experts’ review of SKB’s safety assessment SR-PSU - hydrogeology, geochemistry and bentonite
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) received an application for the expansion of SKB's final repository for low and intermediate level waste at Forsmark (SFR) on the 19 December 2014. SSM is tasked with the review of the application and will issue a statement to the government who will decide on the matter. An important part of the application is SKB's assessment of...

2014:55 Technical Note, Further Reproduction of SKB’s Calculation Cases and Independent
Som en del av säkerhetsanalysen SR-Site presenterar SKB modellresultat som illustrerar kapseln och buffertens säkerhetsfunktioner. I var och en av de fem beräkningsfallen är delar av kapsel och/eller buffert frånvarande i modellen av slutförvarssystemet. Modellresultaten jämförs inte med säkerhetskriterier eftersom beräkningsfallen innehåller...
