2010:28 GEMA3D – landscape modelling for dose assessments
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...

2010:31 Buffer erosion: An overview of concepts and potential safety consequences
In its safety analysis SR-Can, SKB reported preliminary results and conclusions on the mechanisms of bentonite colloid formation and stability, with a rough estimate of the consequences of loss of bentonite buffer by erosion. With the review of SR-Can the authorities (SKI and SSI) commented that erosion of the buffer had the greatest safety significance, that the understanding of the...

2010:30 INSITE Summary Report
SSM and its predecessor SKI employed a team of earth scientists who followed and reviewed SKB’s investigations of the potential spent nuclear fuel repository sites at Forsmark and Laxemar. This group was named INSITE (INdependent Site Investigation Tracking and Evaluation) and began its work in 2002 and completed its task with the review of the final versions SKB’s site descriptive models,...

2012:21 Technical Note, Initial Review Phase for SKBs Safety Assessment SR-Site: Corrosion of Copper
The uniform and localized corrosion treatments as well as stress corrosion cracking positions currently considered by SKB have been examined with the objective of identifying key unresolved issues or gaps, needs and opportunities. In conjunction with the review of the SKB reports listed in Appendix 1, there has been some consideration of the broader literature. This summary highlights the...

2012:32 Technical Note, Groundwater Chemistry in SKB’s Safety Assessment SR-Site: Initial Review
This preliminary review of SR-Site is focused specifically on the treatment of groundwater chemistry in the description of the Forsmark site and in the long-term safety of a deep geological repository at Forsmark. Data for the chemical and isotopic compositions of groundwaters have contributed to a site descriptive model (SDM) for Forsmark. In that SDM, groundwater chemistry is interpreted...

2012:17 Technical Note, Corrosion of copper canister
It is expected that the inflow of ground water to the deposition holes and tunnels in the Forsmark repository will be very slow. Thus, it might take some few hundred years up to thousand years before the deposition holes are filled with ground water and it might take 6000 years or more before the bentonite buffer is fully water saturated and pressurized. The copper canisters will therefore...

2012:24 Technical Note, Initial Review of SR-Site Main Report
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing a license application, which has been submitted by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB), for a repository for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. SKB’s Application includes an assessment of the long-term safety of the proposed repository. The assessment is known as SR-Site. This technical note records the findings from a...

2012:13 Technical Note, A review of the creep ductility of copper for nuclear waste canister application
SKB has presented insufficient evidence to justify their position that the OFP copper has an adequate creep ductility during long term storage. Their large body of experiments only serves to prove that the creep ductility is sufficient for much shorter time spans than the intended storage times. There is a clear need for a credible theory of creep brittleness of OFP copper which will permit...

2012:10 Technical Note, Review of the Geomicrobiological Aspects of SKB’s Licence Application for a Spent Nuclear Fuel Repository in Forsmark, Sweden
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) reviews the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of a repository for spent nuclear fuel and for an encapsulation facility. As part of the review, SSM commissions consultants to carry out work in order to obtain information on specific issues. The...

2012:29 Technical Note, Initial review of chemical and erosional processes within the buffer and backfill – Geochemical processes
De dokument i SR-Site som är relevanta till detta granskningsområde bedöms vara generellt i tillräckligt hög kvalitet för att utgöra underlagsmaterial för vidare granskning i huvudgranskningsfasen av SSM:s GLS- (granskning av långsiktig säkerhet) projekt. Behov av kompletterande information eller förtydliganden har dock identifierats inom...
