• 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...

• 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...

• 2024:01 Stress field modelling of the Forsmark lens – Correlation of stress measurements with stress field simulations

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund och syfte Kunskap om det nuvarande bergspänningsfältet i Forsmark ligger till grund för att karakterisera bergmassans rådande mekaniska och hydrauliska beteende. Endast med en god förståelse för den geomekaniska miljön är en analys av bergmassan framtida hydro-mekaniska beteende möjlig. Baserat på befintliga bergspänningsmätningar...

• 2024:19 Finansiering av en minnesinstitution efter förslutning av slutförvar för använt kärnavfall

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund och syfte En central princip för dagens finansieringssystem för omhändertagandet av kärnämne och övrigt radioaktivt avfall som uppkommit vid drift och avveckling av kärnkraftverk är producentansvarsprincipen1. Ett finansieringssystem som grundas på en avgift per levererad kilowattimme till den s.k. Kärnavfallsfonden. I tillägg...

• 2025:02 INCLUDE: Including (local) stakeholder participation in the regulatory mission – a future challenge

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund Det primära fokus för SSM:s kommunikation med intressenter i samband med slutförvaring av använt kärnbränsle och kärnavfall har under flera år legat på formella samrådsprocesser kring den svenska kärnkraftsindustrins forsknings- och utvecklingsprogram samt SKB:s tillståndsansökningar enligt kärntekniklagen.

• 2016:21 The effect of a glaciation on East Central Sweden: case studies on present glaciers and analyses of landform data

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority reviews and assesses applications for geological repositories for nuclear waste. When assessing the long term safety of the repositories it is important to consider possible future developments of climate and climate-related processes. Especially the next glaciation is important for the review and assessment for the long term safety of the spent nuclear...

• 2016:30 Measurement of Parameter Values for Predicting Corrosion Phenomena on Copper in Swedish HLNW Repositories

  Passivity breakdown and pitting on pure copper, the assumed material for the canisters for the isolation of high-level nuclear waste in Sweden, has been studied in simulated, sulphide- and chloride containing granitic rock groundwater and the data are interpreted in terms of the Point Defect Model (PDM). The results indicated that a sulphide barrier layer forms on the copper surface, and that...

• 2016:01 Literature Study on Sparse Channel Interpretation and Modeling

  Channelling has been observed in laboratory and field experiments at various scales. However, it is still an open research issue whether a sparse channel network is likely to be a better model than the fracture network model for representing the flow system in fractured rocks. The present report presents a literature study to bring together information useful for addressing this issue.

• 2014:30 Modelling Approaches to C-14 in Soil-Plant Systems and in Aquatic Environments

  Substantial expertise on carbon biogeochemistry already exists in the fields of plant physiology and aquatic ecology and therefore is it beneficial to draw on this to identify the important issues. A paper describing the BIOPROTA C-14 model inter-comparisons, and plans for the forward programme was published in Radiocarbon Journal. Further studies on C-14 (including modelling, model...

• 2011:26 The influence of temperature and fluid pressure on the fracture network evolution around deposition holes of a KBS-3V concept at Forsmark, Sweden

  In preparation for the review of SKB’s license application for disposal of spent nuclear fuel, 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 about 500 m depth and embedded in clay. Thus, the rock, the clay and the copper canister...
