• 2024:02 Earthquake stationarity and distributed fault displacements, Forsmark repository site

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund och syfte Stora jordbävningar inträffar huvudsakligen längs plattgränser. På grund av detta har mycket av forskningen riktats mot denna tektoniska miljö. Den allmänna bristen på seismicitet i stabila kontinentala områden, såsom Baltiska Skölden, har försvårat uppskattningar, såväl som förståelsen,...

• 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...

• 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...

• 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...

• 2020:01 Sulphide-induced stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen absorption incopper exposed to sulphide and chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90°C

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund Den metod som den svenska kärnkraftsindustrin planerar att tillämpa för att slutförvara använt kärnbränsle kallas för KBS-3 och bygger på tre skyddsbarriärer: kopparkapslar, bentonitbuffert och det svenska urberget. I den aktuella KBS-3-utformningen kommer det använda kärnbränslet att placeras i en insats...

• 2018:21 Research on Resaturation of Bentonite Buffer

  Background Resaturation processes in the bentonite buffer in a KBS-3 type repository for spent nuclear fuel are complicated and are often illustrated, analysed and modelled multi-disciplinarily as coupled thermal (T), hydrological (H) and mechanical (M) processes with multi-phase flow, elastoplastic evolution in a swelling porous medium. Previous THM-modelling showed that the re-saturation...

• 2017:18 FEM analysis of the mechanical integrity for the canister intended for storage of spent nuclear fuel with regard to copper creep ductility

  Background For final storage of spent nuclear fuel it is suggested by the Swedish nuclear fuel and waste management company (SKB) to emplace the nuclear fuel into copper canisters which are surrounded by bentonite clay at approximately 500 meters’ depth into granitic rock. After emplacement of the canisters Bentonite swelling due to water saturation and hydrostatic pressure build up the...

• 2017:15 Radionuclide release rates associated with bounding cases featuring relatively early canister failures in a spent fuel repository

  Background In 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) submitted a license application for construction of a geological repository for spent nuclear fuel according to the KBS-3 method, comprising of copper canisters, bentonite buffer, backfill and surrounding crystalline bedrock. The post-closure safety assessment of the repository, SR-Site, has been reviewed by the Swedish...

• 2017:02 Slow strain rate testing of copper in sulfide rich chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90 °C

  Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can occur in materials from the combined influence of tensile stress and a corrosive environment. It has previously been shown in the literature, that copper can be sensitive to SCC in the presence of sulfide containing water. Since both tensile...
