2012:34 Technical Note, Review of FEP Handling in the SR-Site Safety Assessment: Initial Review Phase
On 16th March 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company, SKB, submitted applications for licences to construct a spent nuclear fuel encapsulation facility in Oskarshamn and a repository for final disposal of the encapsulated fuel in Forsmark. SKB’s applications are currently being reviewed by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, and the Land and Environmental Court in...

2012:37 Technical Note, Selective review of the hydrogeological aspects of SR-Site
This review of the hydrogeology is selective. It focuses on the measurement, interpretation and modelling of the potential repository host rock, that is the rock domain FFM01<-400m. It accepts as reasonably accurate the measurement and representation of the more transmissive parts of the hydrogeological system, particularly the near-surface 150m in the form presented by SKB. SKB have decided...

2012:30 Technical Note, Initial review of physical properties and processes of the buffer and backfill. THM and other physical processes
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) reviews the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of a repository for spent nuclear fuel and for an encapsulation facility. As part of the review, SSM commissions consultants to carry out work in order to obtain information on specific issues. The...

2012:25 Workshop on Seismology
This report summarizes the issues discussed at the workshop and extracts the essential viewpoints that have been expressed. The report is not to consider as a comprehensive record of all the discussions at the workshop and individual statements made by workshop participants should be regarded as opinions rather than proven facts. This report includes, apart from the workshop synthesis, the...

2012:28 Technical Note, Initial review of chemical and erosional processes within the buffer and backfill – Geochemical processes
This report consists of a Technical Note in SSM’s initial review phase of SKB’s safety analysis SR-Site. The aim of the initial review of issues concerning geochemical processes in buffer and backfill in a final repository is to make a broad illustration and review of SR-Site together with its subordinate references, as well as to identify potential needs for complementary information or...

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...
