2012:71 Identification of Brittle Deformation Zones and Weakness Zones
In preparation for the review of Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company’s (SKB) license application for disposal of spent nuclear fuel, Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is conducting studies to evaluate the performance of the multi-barrier principle on which the KBS-3 concept is based. Copper canisters containing the spent nuclear fuel are placed into granitic bedrock at...

2012:65 Technical Note, Review of the Nuclear Criticality Safety of SKB’s Licensing Application for a Spent Nuclear Fuel Repository in Sweden
The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company in 2011 applied to the Swedish government for approval of a proposed solution for disposal of used fuel from Swedish nuclear power reactors and some relatively minor quantities of other fissile material. This Technical Note contains results of a recent nuclear criticality safety review of the overall prospects of the application being able...

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...

2012:66 Safety Leadership – the managerial art of balancing production pressure and safety
A substantial part of the project has been dedicated to investigating and characterizing ‘safety leadership’, set in the context of literature on safety leadership, safety culture and safety management, in order to build a solid theoretical basis. The authors have delved deeply into the theories and conceptualizations of leadership and analysed this area in order to further the understanding...
