• 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...

• 2015:06 Technical Note, Feasibility of Backfilling Deposition Tunnels

  SKB has been conducting an appropriate scientific and technical programme of research and development work to investigate the many processes that may affect the choice of backfill materials, the practicali- ties of backfill emplacement, and the properties of the emplaced backfill that may affect long-term radiological safety. On the basis of this re- search and development work SKB has outlined...

• 2015:05 Technical Note, Review of uncertainty propagation and sensitivity analysis in SR-Site Main Review Phase

  The review assignment SSM2014-2060 “Review of uncertainty and sensi- tivity analysis in SR-Site” addressed three issues: 1. Adequacy of the methods adopted by SKB for conducting sensitivity analyses 2. Approach for use of conservative and best-estimate parameter values 3. Propagation of uncertainty for the corrosion scenario Adequacy of the methods for sensitivity analyses: The sensitivity...

• 2015:01 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Thermal properties and thermal modelling of the rock in a repository of spent nuclear fuel at Forsmark – Main Review Phase

  In preparation for the review of SKB's license application for a disposal of spent nuclear fuel, SSM has conducted a series of modelling studies related to the design, construction and long-term safety of a repository at Forsmark. Several of the presented modelling works are related to the thermal evolution of the repository with time. This report extracts the results from independent SSM...
