2010:18 Radionuclide Transport: Preparation During 2009 for the SR-Site Review
Post-closure safety assessments for nuclear waste repositories involve radioecological modelling for an underground source term. Following several decades of research and development, the Swedish Nuclear Waste Management Company (SKB) is approaching a phase of license application. According to SKB’s plans, an application to construct a geological repository will be submitted by the end of...

2008:10 International Expert Review of SR-Can: Engineered Barrier Issues
The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) has recently submitted a license application for the construction of a spent fuel encapsulation plant. SKB plans to submit a further license application in 2009 for the construction of a repository for the disposal spent nuclear fuel. In connection with the first of these applications, SKB published a safety report, known as SR-Can,...

2008:57 Discrete Feature Model (DFM) User Documentation
This manual describes the DiscreteFeature Model (DFM) software package for modelling groundwater flow and solute transport in networks of discrete features. A discretefeature conceptual model represents fractures and other waterconducting features around a repository as discrete conductors surrounded by a rock matrix which is usually treated as impermeable. This approximation may be valid for...

1995:19 Non-destructive Assay of Spent BWR Fuel with High-resolution Gamma-ray Spectroscopy
A method, based on high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy, has been developed for verification of burnup, cooling time, power history and, to some extent, the initial enrichment of spent BWR fuel. It is shown that, provided that the power history is known and corrected for, bumup and cooling time can be verified with accuracies within 3% and 60 days, respectively, for cooling times up to about...

2001:11 Ethical Problems in Radiation Protection
In this report the authors survey existing international radiation-protection recommendations and standards of the ICRP, the IAEA, and the ILO. After outlining previous work on the ethics of radiation protection, professional ethics, and the ethics of human radiation experiments, the authors review ethical thinking on seven key issues related to radiation protection and ethics. They formulate...

1996:08 Contamination and Radiation Exposure, Evaluation and Measures in the Nordic Countries after the Chernobyl Accident
In the night 25/26 April1986 it all started. The radioactive releases from Chernobyl reached the Nordic countries late 27 April. At noon the following day all the world knew that an accident had occurred - two and a half days after it started. In April.l986 there was, generally speaking, quite a high level of preparedness for nuclear accidents in the Nordic countries but still, as it was...
