  • 2014:20 An evaluation of high-temperature creep of zirconium alloys: data versus models

    In this report Dr Massih presents correlations for creep in different phases of zirconium alloys and also presents a general solution to the difficulty of accurately describing the material properties in phase transition for several zirconium alloys. Based upon superplasticity relations, models are adapted to fit with experimental data for materials in transition regions. The creep models are...

  • 2023:11 Study of degradation of spent fuel’s structural material and core components under long-term wet storage

    SSM perspective Background Sweden is managing the spent nuclear fuel and core components from its commercial nuclear reactors with a national strategic plan. The fuel and core components are initially stored at the reactor site. After an on-site storage period to comply with transportation limits on decay heat and radiation, these materials are shipped to the Clab (Central Interim Storage...

  • The international radiation protection school in Stockholm attracts participants from over 20 countries

    For five days, at Stockholm University, international early and mid-career radiation protection experts gather to develop their knowledge in radiation protection. The course alternates between theory and practice and provides in-depth knowledge and understanding on the structure and application of the international system for radiation protection.

  • 2022:08 Geophysical surveys on sub marine land- and rock slides and on alpine glaciers

    SSM perspective Background The future climate evolution and the impact it might have on a repository for radioactive waste is important when assessing the long-term safety. In a project funded by SSM (Holmlund et al. 2016), bathymetric data from the Southern Quark area between Sweden and Åland, provided by the Swedish Maritime Administration, were analysed, as well as terrestrial data from...

  • IAEA IRRS-mission report to Sweden published

    The International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, has reviewed Sweden’s framework for nuclear safety and radiation protection, the so-called IRRS review (Integrated Regulatory Review Service). The review is carried out every ten years by a group of international experts led by a team from the IAEA. Sweden’s second full-scope IRRS-review was carried out 14 – 25 November 2022. The report has now...

  • 2023:14 Effect of gamma-irradiation on the redox states of the structural iron in bentonite clay

    SSM perspective Background Bentonite clay is used as buffer and backfill material which form engineered barrier in the spent fuel repository. The buffer material surrounding the copper canister will be exposed to gamma and neutron radiations, especially during the first few hundred years after closure of the repository. The redox states of the structural iron in montmorillonite, the dominant...

  • 2012:61 Geochemical Constraints on Buffer Pore Water Evolution and Implications for Erosion

    Mineralogical data from the Forsmark Site show that smectite and calcite occur at all depths in Forsmark fractures, with no evidence for removal/dissolution by previous glacial episodes. This natural analogue information implies that these minerals may not have been eroded/dissolved during previous glacial episodes. Available thermodynamic data suggest that repository-depth Forsmark...
