• 2012:46 Technical Note, Review of Landscape Models used in SR-Site

  As part of SSM’s Initial Review phase of SKB’s SR-Site safety assessment for the proposed final disposal of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site, Quintessa was given the assignment to consider whether the landscape models and supporting data utilised by SKB are appropriate and fit for purpose. This Technical Note summarises the findings of Quintessa’s review. SKB’s approach to the...

• 2012:49 Hydrogeological characteristics of sites for low- and intermediate-level waste disposal

  The Forsmark area with its selected two sites and the Laxemar-Simpevarp area with its two sites are broadly similar in terms of lithology, rock ages, and tectonic histories. The two areas differ in terms of degree of deformation, and tectonic fabric. Some lithologic and tectonic differences are noticeable between the two sites in the Forsmark area and between the two sites in the...

• 2012:48 Technical Note, Use of Solubility Limits in the SR-Site Safety Assessment

  In a radioactive waste disposal environment, in some potential situations (scenarios) a disposed canister containing spent fuel may be breached and the fuel may come into contact with groundwater. The concentration of a radioactive element such as uranium may rise to a level where the solution is saturated. No more of the radioactive element may dissolve and a precipitated solid may be formed.

• 2012:42 Technical Note, Initial review of physical properties and processes of the buffer and backfill – Installation and initial state

  The technical note briefly summarises the proposed designs and functions of the buffer and backfill, and examines SKB’s progress in manufacturing, installing and testing its proposed solutions. In brief, the review suggests that there are some procedural and practical engineering aspects (e.g., quality assurance procedures, backfilling rates) and several physical processes to do with the...

• 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...

• 2012:17 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...
