• 2014:29 Technical Note, Independent Modelling of Radionuclide Transport, Evaluation of Colloid Transport Modelling – Main Review Phase

  SKB excludes consideration of colloids originating inside the canister in its performance assessment on the basis of the filtration capability of the buffer material. In the canister failure by corrosion scenario (central corrosion case), the buffer material is assumed eroded, and the filtration argument is not entirely valid for excluding modelling in-canister colloids. In this Technical...

• 2014:34 Technical Note, Modelling Comparison of Simple Reference Biosphere Models with LDF Models – Main Review Phase

  This Technical Note describes the development of simple reference biosphere models as a means of exploring the Landscape Dose Factor (LDF) approach adopted by SKB in the SR-Site safety assessment for the proposed final disposal of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site. The models are developed and described in a systematic manner, based on international guidance reflected in the...

• 2014:39 Technical Note, “Wormhole” and Multiple Loss of Buffer Safety Function Scenarios

  This Technical Notes reviewed the issues that may cause canister corrosion other than the cases evaluated by SKB, which may belong to “What-if” canister corrosion scenarios. This Notes, in particular, addressed two potential canister corrosion scenarios: “wormhole” formation and loss of multiple buffer safety functions. The “wormhole” scenario was hypothesized during the SSM Workshop on...

• 2014:46 Technical Note, QA in SKB’s Groundwater Flow Modelling

  The general objective of the project is to provide review comments on SKB’s postclosure safety analysis, SR-Site, for the proposed repository at Forsmark. The specific objective is to get an understanding and an assessment of SKB’s quality assurance of the groundwater flow modelling in connection to SR-Site. The reliability of the results of the groundwater flow modelling depends inter alia...

• 2014:08 Technical Note, Review of Long-Term Redox Evolution of Groundwater and Potential Influence of Oxygenated Glacial Meltwater in SR-Site

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing an application submitted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) in 2011 to construct, possess, and operate a deep geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site in the municipality of Östhammar, Sweden. SKB has presented details of its long-term safety assessment, SR-Site, in a main report...

• 2014:11 Technical Note, Radionuclide Solubility Limits in SKB’s Safety Case

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing a license application, which has been submitted by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB), for a spent nuclear fuel repository at Forsmark. This technical note records the findings from a project that forms part of the main phase of SSM’s license application review. The project involved review of reports and independent modelling...

• 2014:10 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Confidence of SKB’s models for predicting the occurrence of spalling – Main Review Phase

  This review study is placed in the context of SSM’s Main Review Phase for SKB’s safety assessment SR-Site. The assignment is titled “Rock Mechanics – Confidence of SKB’s models for predicting the occurrence of spalling”. The report presents the authors’ assessment in response to the questions raised by SSM. The review concentrated on two main issues: (1) the analysis of the assumptions made...

• 2014:03 Report from SSM’s scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology, 2012

  In this report, a finalized version of a radiotherapy protocol template for external beam radiotherapy is presented. The focus is on procedural aspects, while issues regarding clinical evaluation during and after treatment are not dealt with. The use of this radiotherapy template is encouraged for structured description of contemporary radiotherapy in care programs and clinical trial...
