Final repository for radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel
One of the duties of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is to review the final disposal applications submitted to the Authority by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB). We review the applications with reference to the Swedish Act on Nuclear Activities and against our regulations, and issue pronouncements to the Swedish Government, which then makes licensing decisions.

2023:12 Investigation of the limits of detection for specific radionuclides in soil from the European Spallation Source (ESS) using radiometric and mass spectrometric methods
SSM perspective Background In Lund, the construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) research facility is underway and the facility is also undergoing a stepwise licensing procedure in accordance with relevant legal requirements. At ESS, neutrons will be produced by spallation when high-energy protons from a linear accelerator hit a rotating tungsten beam target. The neutrons released...

2024:02 Earthquake stationarity and distributed fault displacements, Forsmark repository site
SSM perspective Background and objective Large earthquakes occur predominantly along plate boundaries. Due to this, much of the research have been directed towards this tectonic setting. Also, the general lack of seismicity data in stable continental interiors, such as the Baltic Shield, have impeded estimations, as well as the understanding, of the seismic hazard in these tectonic settings.
