2012:63 Technical Note, Review of Radionuclide Sorption on Bentonite and Forsmark Bedrock Material
Denna rapport granskar sorption-data för bentonit och berg vilka har använts i säkerhetsanalysen SR-Site. Det kan konstateras att härledningen av Kd-värden har gjorts på ett systematiskt sätt och att presentationen av resultat är uttömmande. Kontroller visar att härledning och överföring av resultat kan betraktas som spårbar. Det...

2013:34 Technical Note, Seismology – Post-glacial seismicity and paleoseismology at Forsmark
Metoden som SKB använder för att förutse seismisk risk för slutförvaret skiljer sig i två avseenden från gängse förfarande. För det första, förkastningsrörelser inom förvaret är beräknade utifrån numeriska bergmekaniska modeller i stället för genom en Probabilistisk riskanalys för förkastningsrörelse...

2017:18 FEM analysis of the mechanical integrity for the canister intended for storage of spent nuclear fuel with regard to copper creep ductility
Background For final storage of spent nuclear fuel it is suggested by the Swedish nuclear fuel and waste management company (SKB) to emplace the nuclear fuel into copper canisters which are surrounded by bentonite clay at approximately 500 meters’ depth into granitic rock. After emplacement of the canisters Bentonite swelling due to water saturation and hydrostatic pressure build up the...
