2019:12 Radiological risk assessment for the “Radon” type surface disposal facility in Chisinau, Moldova
Abstract The long-term conditions and potential radiological consequences of the legacy radioactive waste stored in the RADON-type disposal facility outside Chisinau is of concern for the central government authorities of the Republic of Moldova. A radiological risk assessment of “zero alternative scenario” for the RADON-type of near-surface disposal facility has been conducted. The objective...

2012:33 Technical Note, Review of Groundwater Chemistry in SKB’s Safety Assessment SR-Site
This initial review examined SKB’s characterization of groundwater chemistry at the Forsmark site and its evolution during long time periods under different possible climates in the future. The review considered whether the geochemical data provided by SKB are reasonable and sufficient and whether the methods used by SKB for projecting geochemical conditions into the future are appropriate.

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...

2018:15 Review of Geochemical Data Utilisation in SR-Site Safety Assessment
The objective of this study is to understand how data for groundwater compositions were used in producing the Site Descriptive Model for Forsmark and as input data for the safety assessment, SRSite. Improving this understanding sheds further light on the significance of data uncertainties, data processing and interpretation on the degree of uniqueness in the descriptive model, parameterisation...

2018:08 Calculated radiological consequences of applying European clearance levels to scrap metal from the decommissioning of Swedish nuclear facilities
Background Many practices involving radioactive substances generate materials with potential or known radioactive contamination. Clearance of materials means a decision that such materials can be released from regulatory control and used or disposed of without restrictions from a radiation protection point of view. According to regulations issued by the SSM, such decisions must be based on...
