2014:35 Technical Note, Modelling comparison of alternative biosphere models with LDF models and evaluation of selected parameter values used in the biosphere dose assessment - Main review phase
This report has been prepared as part of the SSM’s Main Review Phase of SKB’s SR-Site performance assessment of the long-term safety of the KBS-3 geological disposal facility (GDF) proposed for construction at Forsmark. The review addresses the methodology employed in the dose assessment calculations of SR-Site; specifically issues of transport, accumulation and transfers of radionuclides in...

2014:40 Technical Note, Review of Performance Confirmation Programs and Potential Roles in SSM’s Current Review of SKB’s License Application – Main Review Phase
The initial license application of a repository concept for disposal of radioactive waste is based on extensive site characterization, baseline monitoring, development of disposal designs and engineered barriers, test data on engineered barriers, and the integration of a series of models representing processes controlling the containment, release and migration of radionuclides from the...

2014:43 Technical Note, Workshop on general corrosion of copper
This report describes the outcome of the workshop organized by SSM on general corrosion of copper that was held in Stockholm on the 26-27th of August, 2013. The report summarizes the issues discussed and extracts the essential viewpoints that have been expressed. It should not be considered as a comprehensive record of all the discussions at the workshop and individual statements made by...

2014:32 Technical Note, Assessment of the derivation and use of distribution coefficients and concentration ratios – Main Review Phase
This report presents a review of the approaches and databases which SKB have used to derive concentration ratios (CRs) and distribution coefficients (Kds) to consider if they are robustly derived and fit for purpose. Credible alternative approaches are also considered. The focus of this review are SKB reports R-10-28 and TR-10-07 which describe the available site specific data and the...

2014:29 Technical Note, Independent Modelling of Radionuclide Transport, Evaluation of Colloid Transport Modelling – Main Review Phase
SKB excludes consideration of colloids originating inside the canister in its performance assessment on the basis of the filtration capability of the buffer material. In the canister failure by corrosion scenario (central corrosion case), the buffer material is assumed eroded, and the filtration argument is not entirely valid for excluding modelling in-canister colloids. In this Technical...

2014:34 Technical Note, Modelling Comparison of Simple Reference Biosphere Models with LDF Models – Main Review Phase
This Technical Note describes the development of simple reference biosphere models as a means of exploring the Landscape Dose Factor (LDF) approach adopted by SKB in the SR-Site safety assessment for the proposed final disposal of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site. The models are developed and described in a systematic manner, based on international guidance reflected in the...

2014:39 Technical Note, “Wormhole” and Multiple Loss of Buffer Safety Function Scenarios
This Technical Notes reviewed the issues that may cause canister corrosion other than the cases evaluated by SKB, which may belong to “What-if” canister corrosion scenarios. This Notes, in particular, addressed two potential canister corrosion scenarios: “wormhole” formation and loss of multiple buffer safety functions. The “wormhole” scenario was hypothesized during the SSM Workshop on...
