• 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...

• 2009:01 Decommissioning of the Nuclear Reactors R2 and R2-0 at Studsvik, Sweden – General Data as called for under Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

  The report describes the plans for decommissioning of the nuclear research and material test reactors R2 and R2-0, situated at the Studsvik site in Sweden. The purpose of the document is to serve as information for the European Commission, and to fulfil the requirements of Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty. According to Article 37, each Member State shall provide the Commission with such...

• 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...

• 2008:10 International Expert Review of SR-Can: Engineered Barrier Issues

  The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) has recently submitted a license application for the construction of a spent fuel encapsulation plant. SKB plans to submit a further license application in 2009 for the construction of a repository for the disposal spent nuclear fuel. In connection with the first of these applications, SKB published a safety report, known as SR-Can,...

• 2008:09 The Generalised Ecosystem Modelling Approach in radiological assessment

  An independent modelling capability is required by SSI in order to evaluate dose assessments carried out in Sweden by, amongst others, SKB. The main focus is the evaluation of the long-term radiological safety of radioactive waste repositories for both spent fuel and low-level radioactive waste. To meet the requirement for an independent modelling tool for use in biosphere dose assessments,...

• 2008:07 Modelling of long term geochemical evolution and study of mechanical perturbation of bentonite buffer of a KBS-3 repository

  PART I: The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co. (SKB) has recently completed a safety assessment project named SR-Can, related to the KBS-3 disposal concept. In this concept, the waste packages are surrounded by a buffer made of either MX-80 or Deponit CA-N bentonite. Interactions between the buffer and groundwater may modify the buffer composition and thus its containment...

• 2008:10 User’s manual for Ecolego Toolbox and the Discretization Block

  The CLIMB modelling team (Catchment LInked Models of radiological effects in the Biosphere) was instituted in 2004 to provide SSI with an independent modelling capability when reviewing SKB’s assessment of long-term safety for a geological repository. Modelling in CLIMB covers all aspects of performance assessment (PA) from near-field releases to radiological consequences in the surface...
