• 2015:08 Technical Note, Rheological properties of the Bentonite Buffer

  Rheological properties for bentonite at high densities The properties of bentonite at high densities are extremely important and it appears as it has been to a certain extent well researched and understood, although further investigations regarding swelling of the bentonite would be welcome. What, however, seems to be missing is a comprehensive constitutive model capturing all the different...

• 2015:49 Technical Note, Independent Modelling of Engineered Barrier Evolution and Coupled THMC: Canister Corrosion Calculations in SR-Site

  Projektets syfte Projektet syftar till att granska olika beräkningsfall för korrosion av kopparkapseln som rapporterats i SKB TR-10-66 och som sammanfattas i SKB TR-11-01. Arbetet omfattar en analys av beräkningsfall relaterade till korrosionshastigheten för intakt buffert, delvis eroderad buffert och för advektiva förhållanden i bufferten. Målsättningen...

• 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...

• 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...
