  • 2009:30 A Review of Evidence for Corrosion of Copper by water

    The planned spent nuclear fuel repository in Sweden relies on a copper cast iron canister as the primary engineered barrier. The corrosion behaviour of copper in the expected environment needs to be thoroughly understood as a basis for the post-closure safety analysis. It has been shown that corrosion may indeed be the primary canister degradation process during the utilised assessment period...

  • 2009:22 Alternative modelling of brittle structures in a sub-area of the SKB candidate area at Forsmark, eastern Sweden

    A reasonable understanding of the character of the bedrock hosting a deep geological repository, i.e. the natural barrier, is an important component in the safety assessment of the deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel. The structures in the rock, together with the regional stress field, affect the mechanical stability of the bedrock and the ground water transport within the...

  • 2009:21 The geological history of the Baltic Sea a review of the literature and investigation tools

    The bedrock in Sweden mainly comprises Proterozoic magmatic and metamorphic rocks older than a billion or one and a half billion years with few easily distinguished testimonies for the younger history. For construction of a geological repository for deposition of nuclear waste it is important to understand the late, brittle, geological events to be able to estimate its influence and...

  • 2009:19 Review of SKB’s Quality Assurance Programme

    SKB is preparing a license application for the construction of a final repository for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden. This application will be supported by the safety assessment SR-Site for the post-closure phase. The assessment of long-term safety is based on a broad range of experimental results from laboratory scale, intermediate scale and up to full scale experiments. It is essential that...

  • 2009:09 Analysis of three sets of SWIW tracer test data using a two-population complex fracture model for matrix diffusion and sorption

    For the non-sorbing tracer uranine, both the finite and the semi-infinite populations play a distinct role in controlling BTC. For the sorbing tracers Cs and Rb the finite population does not saturate, but acts essentially semi-infinite, thus the BTC behaviour is comparable to that obtained for a model containing only a semi-infinite rock matrix. The ability to match BTC for both sorbing and...

  • 2009:08 Shear-induced Fracture Slip and Permeability Change - Implications for Long-term Performance of a Deep Geological Repository

    Opening of fractures induced by shear dilation or normal deformation can be a significant source of fracture permeability change in jointed rock, which is important for the performance assessment of geological repositories for spent nuclear fuel. As the repository generates heat and later cools the fluid-carrying ability of the rocks becomes a dynamic variable during the lifespan of the...

  • 2008:47 Selected Models for Key Processes in a Nuclear Waste Repository

    The conceptual design of the disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden is based on a multibarrier system. In the KBS-3 concept, the bentonite buffer is a barrier with the primary purpose of surrounding and protecting the canister. The bentonite buffer is expected to prevent or minimise the water exchange with the surrounding rock and protect the canister against mechanical damages caused by...

  • 2008:23 SKI’s and SSI’s review of SKB’s safety report SR-Can

    This report summarises the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority’s (SSI) joint review of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel & Waste Management Co’s (SKB) safety report SR-Can, on post-closure safety for a KBS-3 spent nuclear fuel repository at Forsmark and Laxemar respectively (SKB TR-06-09). As of 1 July 2008 the Swedish Radiation Safety...

  • 2008:48 SKI:s yttrande och utvärdering av SKB:s redovisning av Fud-program 2007

    Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB, SKB, har lämnat in Fud-program 2007 till SKI för granskning enligt 12 § lagen (1984:3) om kärnteknisk verksamhet (kärntekniklagen). Baserat på SKI:s granskning och inkomna remissyttranden bedömer SKI att regeringen bör besluta: - Att reaktorinnehavarna, genom Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB, har fullgjort...

  • 2008:57 Discrete Feature Model (DFM) User Documentation

    This manual describes the DiscreteFeature Model (DFM) software package for modelling groundwater flow and solute transport in networks of discrete features. A discretefeature conceptual model represents fractures and other waterconducting features around a repository as discrete conductors surrounded by a rock matrix which is usually treated as impermeable. This approximation may be valid for...
