2015:47 GEMA-Site 1: Model description and example application
Background In 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) submitted an assessment of the long-term safety of a KBS-3 geological disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, Sweden. This assessment, the SR-Site project, supports the licence application of SKB to build such a final disposal facility. The biosphere dose assessment carried out as part of SR-Site...

2015:06 Technical Note, Feasibility of Backfilling Deposition Tunnels
SKB has been conducting an appropriate scientific and technical programme of research and development work to investigate the many processes that may affect the choice of backfill materials, the practicali- ties of backfill emplacement, and the properties of the emplaced backfill that may affect long-term radiological safety. On the basis of this re- search and development work SKB has outlined...

2015:05 Technical Note, Review of uncertainty propagation and sensitivity analysis in SR-Site Main Review Phase
The review assignment SSM2014-2060 “Review of uncertainty and sensi- tivity analysis in SR-Site” addressed three issues: 1. Adequacy of the methods adopted by SKB for conducting sensitivity analyses 2. Approach for use of conservative and best-estimate parameter values 3. Propagation of uncertainty for the corrosion scenario Adequacy of the methods for sensitivity analyses: The sensitivity...

2015:29 Technical Note, Quality Assurance in SKB’s Copper Corrosion Experiments
I Sverige planeras slutförvaring av använt kärnbränsle. Metoden som har utvecklats kallas för KBS-3 och den bygger på tre skyddsbarriärer; kopparkapslar, bentonitlera och det svenska urberget. Det specifika syftet med den här rapporten är att få en förståelse för, och en bedömning av, SKB:s kvalitetssäkring av deras försök...

2015:01 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Thermal properties and thermal modelling of the rock in a repository of spent nuclear fuel at Forsmark – Main Review Phase
In preparation for the review of SKB's license application for a disposal of spent nuclear fuel, SSM has conducted a series of modelling studies related to the design, construction and long-term safety of a repository at Forsmark. Several of the presented modelling works are related to the thermal evolution of the repository with time. This report extracts the results from independent SSM...

2015:30 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Assessing the likelihood and extent of fracture growth in the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark
This review work concerns the evaluation of the likelihood and extent of fracture growth around the deposition tunnels and holes of the planned KBS-3 repository at Forsmark. The issues of the isostatic, shear and thermal loading concerning the stability and evolution of rock fractures around the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark are addressed. Hereby, the thermal, glacial and earthquake scenarios...

2015:32 Safe and responsible management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste in Sweden - National Plan
The National Plan describes the general principles (national policies), the legislative, regulatory and organizational framework (national framework) as well as the strategies (national programme and systems) that control the safe and responsible management of spent nuclear fuel and of all types of radioactive waste in Sweden, now and in the future. Flavio Lanaro (project leader), Erica...

2015:18 Uranium Aerosol Characteristics at a Nuclear Fuel Manufacturing Site - Particle Size, Morphology and Chemical Composition
Vid alla kärntekniska verksamheter krävs att strålningsmiljön kontrolleras dels genom mätningar av ytors- och luftens kontamination i anläggningen och dels med persondosimetriverksamhet inkluderat helkroppsmätning. De olika metoder som används för att beräkna intecknad effektiv stråldos från kontinuerligt intag via inandning är förknippade...

2015:50 Assessment of structures subject to concrete pathologies (ASCET)
Many Nuclear Power Plants around the world are at the moment approaching, or in, their Long Term Operation stage of their operational phase. In addition, several NPPs have recently been carrying out uprate and life extension projects and comprehensive maintenance work including the exchange of components important to safety, in order to extend their lifetime. As a result, ageing management...
