2013:37 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics – Evolution of fracture transmissivity within different scenarios in SR-Site – Main Review Phase
The current review assignment consists of a literature review and independent modeling for assessing the importance of fracture transmissivity change especially driven by shear loading due to SKB’s thermal, glacial and earthquake loading scenarios for the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark. In the first part of the report, SKB’s laboratory experiments on shear fracture dilation and extensive...

2015:05 Technical Note, Review of uncertainty propagation and sensitivity analysis in SR-Site Main Review Phase
The review assignment SSM2014-2060 “Review of uncertainty and sensi- tivity analysis in SR-Site” addressed three issues: 1. Adequacy of the methods adopted by SKB for conducting sensitivity analyses 2. Approach for use of conservative and best-estimate parameter values 3. Propagation of uncertainty for the corrosion scenario Adequacy of the methods for sensitivity analyses: The sensitivity...

2015:01 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Thermal properties and thermal modelling of the rock in a repository of spent nuclear fuel at Forsmark – Main Review Phase
In preparation for the review of SKB's license application for a disposal of spent nuclear fuel, SSM has conducted a series of modelling studies related to the design, construction and long-term safety of a repository at Forsmark. Several of the presented modelling works are related to the thermal evolution of the repository with time. This report extracts the results from independent SSM...

2015:16 International conference on UV radiation-induced disease – roles of UVA and UVB
In 2007, an international conference sponsored by the former Swedish Radiation Protection Authority and the Swedish Cancer Society and held at Karolinska Insti- tutet explored the state of knowledge concerning ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced disease and the roles of UVA and UVB. The following five years we have seen the classification of the whole solar UV spectrum by IARC as carcinogenic...

2015:20 Guide for thyroid monitoring in the event of release of radioactive iodine in a nuclear emergency
This report aims to serve as a guide in the execution of a thyroid monitoring program during the intermediate phase of response to a nuclear emergency. Calibration factors for some instruments verified in the framework of the Nordic project THY- ROID (Nyander P. 2014) are listed here as an example. For different times after the intake, we present in this guide the measured values in net count...

2015:18 Uranium Aerosol Characteristics at a Nuclear Fuel Manufacturing Site - Particle Size, Morphology and Chemical Composition
Vid alla kärntekniska verksamheter krävs att strålningsmiljön kontrolleras dels genom mätningar av ytors- och luftens kontamination i anläggningen och dels med persondosimetriverksamhet inkluderat helkroppsmätning. De olika metoder som används för att beräkna intecknad effektiv stråldos från kontinuerligt intag via inandning är förknippade...

2015:04 DiD-PSA: Development of a Framework for Evaluation of the Defence-in-Depth with PSA
The project declares an interpretation of the definitions of Defence in Depth given by IAEA which outline a framework to meet PSA. For each level of defence and combinations of levels, methods to give estimates from a PSA perspective are presented and discussed. One important result is the discussion of the basic definitions and the basis for defence-in-depth, as defined by IAEA, leading to...
