2012:51 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics related to long-term repository and site evolution
In general, SKB demonstrates that they have accumulated a significant set of hydraulic, mechanical and thermal data that is essential for constructing a deep geological repository. The method of data acquisition is robust using the internationally- recognized and suggested methods. The methodology of safety assessment is firmly established by applying the state-of-the-art technology and...

2012:54 Technical Note, Initial Review Phase for SKB´s safety assessment SR-Site: Geological structures and deformation zones, from site investigation to safety assessment
The site selected by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Management Co (SKB) for location of a deep geological repository, i.e. a storage for spent nuclear fuel at about 500 m depth in Precambrian metamorphosed rocks. The location of the site is Forsmark at the northern coast of Uppland and 122 km north of Stockholm. In geological terms Forsmark is located in the central part of the Fennoscandian...

2012:44 Technical Note, Review of Matrix Diffusion and related properties of intact rock in SKB’s Licence Application for a Spent Nuclear Fuel Repository in Forsmark, Sweden
This report summarizes a review of SKB’s theoretical development of matrix diffusion, its associated processes and parameters, and the data supporting calculations of matrix diffusion. In addition to diffusion, this review covers matrix porosity, the formation factor, matrix diffusivity, penetration depth, and measurement of some of these parameters with electrical methods. Sorption and the...

2012:55 Technical Note, Review of SKB’s Radionuclide Transport Methodology
As part of SSM’s Initial Review Phase of SKB’s SR-Site safety assessment of the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site, Quintessa has been requested by SSM to consider whether SKB’s methodology to abstract FEPs (features, events, processes), as well as site information and other data, into assessment models for radionuclide transport is appropriate and sufficient for its...

2012:47 C-14 Long-Term Dose Assessment: Data Review, Scenario Development, and Model Comparison
BIOPROTA (www.bioprota.org) is an international collaboration forum which seeks to provide a transparent and traceable basis for the choices of parameter values, as well as for the wider interpretation of information used in assessments. Particular emphasis is placed on data required for the assessment of long-lived radionuclide migration and accumulation in the biosphere, and the associated...

2019:14 IAEA Safeguards: Staying Ahead of the Game
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) called for research proposals relating to non-proliferation. This call resulted in SSM accepting a proposal from the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) on “Improving IAEA Safeguards for Non-Proliferation and Disarmament: Assessing the Options for, and Feasibility of, Further Strengthening...

2019:04 Dosimetry in environments surrounding a laser-plasma accelerator
SSM perspective Background Modern laser technology makes it possible to generate ultrashort pulses with a very high peak power. At the Lund Laser Centre, a high-power laser facility in Lund, Sweden, laser pulses having a duration of approximately 30 femtoseconds are generated with a maximum peak power of up to 40 terawatts. When these pulses are focused, extreme light intensity is achieved.

2010:41 Rock-block configuration in Uppland and the Ålands-hav basin, the regional surroundings of the SKB site in Forsmark, Sea and land areas, eastern Sweden
This report concerns a study which was initially conducted for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI), which is now merged into the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM). The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SSM. The topography in Uppland is more broken in the sea area east and northeast of...
