• 2008:09 The Generalised Ecosystem Modelling Approach in radiological assessment

  An independent modelling capability is required by SSI in order to evaluate dose assessments carried out in Sweden by, amongst others, SKB. The main focus is the evaluation of the long-term radiological safety of radioactive waste repositories for both spent fuel and low-level radioactive waste. To meet the requirement for an independent modelling tool for use in biosphere dose assessments,...

• 2008:10 User’s manual for Ecolego Toolbox and the Discretization Block

  The CLIMB modelling team (Catchment LInked Models of radiological effects in the Biosphere) was instituted in 2004 to provide SSI with an independent modelling capability when reviewing SKB’s assessment of long-term safety for a geological repository. Modelling in CLIMB covers all aspects of performance assessment (PA) from near-field releases to radiological consequences in the surface...

• 2008:08 Review of SKB:s Work on Coupled THM Processes Within SR-Can External review contribution in support of SKI:s and SSI:s

  The work presented in this report is part of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority’s (SSI) SR-Can review project. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) plans to submit a license application for the construction of a repository for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden 2010. In support of this application SKB will present a safety...

• 2008:48E Review Statement and Evaluation of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co´s (SKB) RD&D Programme 2007

  The review of the RD&D Programmes (Research, Development, Demonstration) prepared by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) is a recurrent task that the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) must carry out as a regulatory authority with the support of reviewing bodies of which the most important is the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI). The review statement for...

• 2008:47 Selected Models for Key Processes in a Nuclear Waste Repository

  The conceptual design of the disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden is based on a multibarrier system. In the KBS-3 concept, the bentonite buffer is a barrier with the primary purpose of surrounding and protecting the canister. The bentonite buffer is expected to prevent or minimise the water exchange with the surrounding rock and protect the canister against mechanical damages caused by...

• SKI Report 2008:01 Reliability Data for piping Components in Nordic Nuclear Poer Plants "R-Book" Project Phase 1

  SKI Report 2008:01 - “Reliability Data for Piping Components in Nordic Nuclear Power Plants - R-Book Project Phase I” – is a planning document for a new R&D project to develop a piping component reliability parameter handbook for use in probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and related activities. Included in this handbook will be pipe leak failure rates and rupture frequencies that are...

• 2008:38 Methodology for description and evaluation of cost profiles and cost structure during transitions period

  A demanding task for our generation is to assure the appropriate financial resources are invested in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. This will enable future generations to execute the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear power reactors and other nuclear facilities in a prudent manner. The main aim is to fulfil the demands of environmental and health codes in a pan-European context...

• 2008:06 Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique in Ultrasonic Inspection of Coarse Grained Materials

  Experience from the ultrasonic inspection of nuclear power plants has shown that large focused transducers are relatively effective in suppressing grain (structure) noise. Operation of a large focused transducer can be thought of as an integration (coherent summation) of individual beams reflected from the target and received by individual points at the transducer surface. Synthetic aperture...

• 2008:50 Study on Developments in Accident Investigation Methods: A Survey of the “State-of-the-Art”

  The objective of this project was to survey the main accident investigation methods that have been developed since the early or mid-1990s. The motivation was the increasing frequency of accidents that defy explanations in simple terms, for instance cause-effect chains or “human error”. Whereas the complexity of socio-technical systems is steadily growing across all industrial domains,...
