• 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...

• 2015:32 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...

• 2013:37 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics – Evolution of fracture transmissivity within different scenarios in SR-Site – Main Review Phase

  The current review assignment consists of a literature review and independent modeling for assessing the importance of fracture transmissivity change especially driven by shear loading due to SKB’s thermal, glacial and earthquake loading scenarios for the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark. In the first part of the report, SKB’s laboratory experiments on shear fracture dilation and extensive...

• 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...

• 2015:38 Evaluation of fatigue in austenitic stainless steel pipe components

  Background Transferability of experimental results obtained for smooth test specimens under constant amplitude loading to realistic components subjected to variable amplitude loading is an important issue in the design against fatigue. There is a lack of experimental fatigue data for austenitic steel components and the present study is an important contribution to fill this gap. Objective The...

• 2015:20 The effects of mild, acute hypoxia on cognitive performance

  Room air with reduced oxygen levels that prevent materials to ignite and combust is a cost-effective and increasingly popular fire prevention method. For system safety reasons, the effects of hypoxia, that is, the lack of sufficient oxygen (that is, less than 21% oxygen which is the approximate oxygen level of normal air), on cognitive performance of persons working under such conditions are...

• 2015:27 APRI-8: Accident Phenomena of Risk Importance. En lägesrapport om forskningen inom området svåra haverier under åren 2012-2014

  Kunskap om de fenomen som kan uppträda vid svåra haverier i en kärnkraftanläggning är en viktig förutsättning för att kunna förutse anläggningens beteende, för att kunna utforma rutiner och instruktioner för haverihantering, för beredskapsplaneringen samt för att få god kvalitet på haverianalyser och riskstudier. Sedan...
