2010:32 Fingerprints of zones in boreholes An approach to identify the characteristics of structures
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 Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) has published Site...

2010:08 Development of COLLAGE 3
The issue of colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport (CFRT) was last addressed by the Swedish nuclear regulators (SKI at that time, now integrated into SSM) in 2001 – 2002. SKI had commissioned the Collage code with subsequent development as Collage 2. This code was employed to investigate the potential role for colloids to have been involved in the transport of radionuclides at the Nevada...

2010:34 The understanding of the formation of valleys and its implication on site characterization: Moredalen and Pukedalen, south-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. In south-eastern Sweden, there are a number of over-deepened narrow valleys,...

2010:17 Quality Assurance Review of SKB’s Copper Corrosion Experiments
SKB is preparing a license application for the construction of a final repository for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden. This application will be supported by the safety assessment SR-Site for the post-closure phase. The assessment of long-term safety is based on a broad range of experimental results from laboratory scale, intermediate scale and up to full scale experiments. It is essential that...

2010:23 On Decommissioning Costs of the Ranstad Site
A demanding task for the present generation is to assure that appropriate financial resources are injected into the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. It will thereby be possible for coming generations to undertake efficient measures in the decommissioning and dismantling of older nuclear facilities. To undertake such measures in the context of Swedish as well as European environmental and health...

2009:32 On Younger Stakeholders and Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities
An appropriate balance in this regard must be based on a proper understanding of the values and value functions of younger citizens. Such information must thus be an integral part of the knowledge base to be used when plans and processes are being developed for dismantling and decommissioning of nuclear power plants and other older nuclear facilities. In the present project, empirical data...

2018:24 Structural equation modelling for analysis of human and organizational factors in nuclear power plant control rooms
SSM perspective Background During the supervisory work of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM), a need was identified to develop the methods used when evaluating control room work in the central control rooms of nuclear power plants. Benchmarking is commonly used today, with reference values from earlier Integrated System Validation (ISV), when ISV is available. Often, ISV performs...

2006:36 Mechanical Integrity of Canisters Using a Fracture Mechanics Approach
This report presents the methods and results of a research project for Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) about numerical modeling of mechanical integrity of cast-iron canisters for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden, using combined boundary element (BEM) and finite element (FEM) methods The objectives of the project are: 1) to investigate the possibility of initiation...

2007:17 Spent Fuel Dissolution and Source Term Modelling in Safety Assessment
SKI is preparing to review the license applications being developed by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) for a final repository for the geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SFL-2) in the year 2009. As part of its preparation, SKI is conducting a series of technical workshops on key aspects of the Engineered Barrier System (EBS) and spent fuel. This workshop...

2007:19 An Applied Study of Implementation of the Advanced Decommissioning Costing Methodology for Intermediate Storage Facility for Spent Fuel in Studsvik, Sweden with special emphasis to the application of the Omega code
The aim of this applied study has been to describe in a systematic way an appropriate methodological sequence for cost estimation of crucial parameters in decontamination and decommission processes. The work has been limited to older nuclear installations and facilities. Furthermore, it may be envisaged that the process of estimating the parameters of decommissioning is one of the main issues...
