2010:18 Radionuclide Transport: Preparation During 2009 for the SR-Site Review
Post-closure safety assessments for nuclear waste repositories involve radioecological modelling for an underground source term. Following several decades of research and development, the Swedish Nuclear Waste Management Company (SKB) is approaching a phase of license application. According to SKB’s plans, an application to construct a geological repository will be submitted by the end of...

2010:17 Quality Assurance Review of SKB’s Copper Corrosion Experiments
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...

2010:16 Guidance to Risk-Informed Evaluation of Technical Specifications using PSA
No guidance documents for risk-informed analysis and assessment of changes in Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO:s) in TS (Technical Specifications) have been available in the Nordic countries. In the U.S. several guidance documents, primarily developed by the owners groups for PWRs and BWRs, exist. Guidance for analysis of TS changes in this report generally follows the U.S. Regulatory...

2010:09 Copper Thermodynamics in the Repository Environment up to 130˚C
The mechanisms of copper corrosion for a KBS-3 repository for spent nuclear fuel need to be known with a high level of confidence. This is because the overall rate of copper canister corrosion (accounting for corroding species concentrations, geochemical conditions and the mass transport through surrounding barriers) provides an essential performance indicator in safety assessment. A...

2010:08 Development of COLLAGE 3
The issue of colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport (CFRT) was last addressed by the Swedish nuclear regulators (SKI at that time, now integrated into SSM) in 2001 – 2002. SKI had commissioned the Collage code with subsequent development as Collage 2. This code was employed to investigate the potential role for colloids to have been involved in the transport of radionuclides at the Nevada...

2010:07 Indicators of safety culture – selection and utilization of leading safety performance indicators
Safety indicators play a role in providing information on organizational performance, motivating people to work on safety and increasing organizational potential for safety. The aim of this report is to provide an overview on leading safety indicators in the domain of nuclear safety. The report explains the distinction between lead and lag indicators and proposes a framework of three types of...

2010:05 Discrete-Feature Model Implementation of SDM-Site Forsmark
SSM has been following the investigations of the two candidate sites for a repository for spent nuclear fuel that the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) have been undertaking. SKB has reported the results of the investigations as site descriptive models. These models will be used to underpin the safety analysis following the license application of the repository planned...

2009:36 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Sixth annual report from SSM:s independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields 2009
A large number of cell studies are done on both genotoxic and non-genotoxic outcomes, such as apoptosis gene expression. There are no new positive findings from cellular studies that have been well established in terms of experimental quality and replication. Potential heating of the samples is still seen as a major source of artefacts. Moreover, these few positive results are not related to...

2009:38 Research and Development Program in Reactor Diagnostics and Monitoring with Neutron Noise Methods, Stages 14 and 15
This report constitutes Stages 14 and 15 of a long-term research and development program concerning the development of diagnostics and monitoring methods for nuclear reactors. Stage 14 was a full one-year project, whereas Stage 15 consisted of a half-year project. Results up to Stage 13 were reported in SKI reports, as listed below and in the Summary. The results have also been published in...

2009:35 Evaluation of SKB/Posiva’s report on the horizontal alternative of the KBS-3 method
The KBS-3 method, based on multiple barriers, is the proposed spent fuel disposal method both in Sweden and Finland. The method has two design alternatives: the vertical (KBS-3V) and the horizontal (KBS-3H). SKB and Posiva have conducted a joint research, development and demonstration (RD&D) programme in 2002-2007 with the overall aim of establishing whether the KBS-3H represents a...
