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.

2012:36 Technical Note, Documentation and Traceability of Data in SKB’s Safety Assessment SR-Site: Initial Review Phase
On 16th March 2011SKB applied for a licence to construct and operate a spent nuclear fuel encapsulation facility in Oskarshamn Municipality and a final repository for the encapsulated fuel at Forsmark in Östhammar Municipality. SKB’s SR-Site safety assessment for the spent fuel repository is currently being reviewed by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, and its external experts...

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...

2012:28 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...

2010:32 Fingerprints of zones in boreholes An approach to identify the characteristics of structures
This report concerns a study which was initially conducted for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI), which is now merged into the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM). The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SSM. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) has published Site...

2010:40 Rock-block characterization on regional to local scales for two SKB sites in Forsmark – Uppland and Laxemar – eastern Småland, south-eastern Sweden
To get an overall impression of the general structural setting of a landscape, a remote study of bedrock structures should include studies of the geomorphology at various scales. Thematic maps improve the general understanding of an area. Digital elevation data in 500m, 50m and 10m grids were used for rock-block interpretations at regional, semi-regional and local scales of areas around the...

2010:38 The feasibility of Backfilling a Repository of Spent Fuel: An Assessment of Recent Developments by SKB
In the Review Statement and Evaluation of SKB’s RD & D programme 2007 (SKI Report 2008:48E), the former Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) commented that considerable work remained to be done for knowledge of both practical management issues on backfilling and analysis of long-term backfill evolution to reach the same level as for the canister and the buffer. SKI considered that the...

2010:34 The understanding of the formation of valleys and its implication on site characterization: Moredalen and Pukedalen, south-eastern Sweden
This report concerns a study which was initially conducted for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI), which is now merged into the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM). The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SSM. In south-eastern Sweden, there are a number of over-deepened narrow valleys,...
