2012:42 Technical Note, Initial review of physical properties and processes of the buffer and backfill – Installation and initial state
The technical note briefly summarises the proposed designs and functions of the buffer and backfill, and examines SKB’s progress in manufacturing, installing and testing its proposed solutions. In brief, the review suggests that there are some procedural and practical engineering aspects (e.g., quality assurance procedures, backfilling rates) and several physical processes to do with the...

2012:60 Technical Note, Handling of climate related issues in the safety assessment SR-Site
The application is based on research carried out over several decades and is an impressive compilation of data and knowledge of the site of Forsmark. The sections on climate, glaciations and permafrost have developed continuously through the earlier compilations reported (e.g. the SR-97-reports). Much has been improved over the years while new question marks have occurred and some known...

2012:44 Technical Note, Review of Matrix Diffusion and related properties of intact rock in SKB’s Licence Application for a Spent Nuclear Fuel Repository in Forsmark, Sweden
This report summarizes a review of SKB’s theoretical development of matrix diffusion, its associated processes and parameters, and the data supporting calculations of matrix diffusion. In addition to diffusion, this review covers matrix porosity, the formation factor, matrix diffusivity, penetration depth, and measurement of some of these parameters with electrical methods. Sorption and the...
