• 2011:22 Infiltration of dilute groundwaters and resulting groundwater compositions at repository depth

  The planned Swedish concept for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel includes copper canisters placed in deposition holes at about 500 m depth in granitic bedrock. The copper canisters will be surrounded by bentonite buffer with the objective of inhibiting groundwater flow adjacent to the canister. It has been discovered that dilute glacial melt-water may induce erosion of the buffer material.

• 2010:25 Modelling Coupled Processes in the Evolution of Repository Engineered Barrier Systems using QPAC-EBS

  Currently in Sweden, the SR-Site safety assessment for a spent nuclear fuel repository is being developed by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB). The planned SSM review of this work requires access to a sufficient modelling capability to assess the combined performance of the engineered barriers (spent fuel canister, buffer and backfill) and the natural geosphere...

• 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...

• 2011:31 Allocation of Decommissioning and Waste Liabilities

  A crucial task for the present generations is to ensure that environmental liabilities are identified sufficiently well so that it may be possible to accumulate the corresponding necessary financial assets in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. Adequate funding will provide forthcoming generation’s with the financial means to decommission and dismantle older nuclear facilities that are part of...

• 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...

• 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,...

• 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...

• 2007:29 Intercomparison of Cement Solid-Solution Models

  Many concepts for the geological storage of radioactive waste incorporate cement based materials, which act to provide a chemical barrier, impede groundwater flow or provide structural integrity of the underground structures. Thus, it is important to understand the long-term behaviour of these materials when modelling scenarios for the potential release and migration of radionuclides. In the...

• 2007:02 Strålmiljön i Sverige

  Rapporten beskriver, och redovisar resultat från, den strålmiljöövervakning som bedrivits i Sverige sedan 1950-talet. Genomsnittliga doser till befolkningen och till speciella befolkningsgrupper redovisas också. En stor del av övervakningen har rört nedfallet och spridningen i ekosystemen av radioaktiva ämnen från de atmosfäriska kärnvapenproven...

• 1996:08 Contamination and Radiation Exposure, Evaluation and Measures in the Nordic Countries after the Chernobyl Accident

  In the night 25/26 April1986 it all started. The radioactive releases from Chernobyl reached the Nordic countries late 27 April. At noon the following day all the world knew that an accident had occurred - two and a half days after it started. In April.l986 there was, generally speaking, quite a high level of preparedness for nuclear accidents in the Nordic countries but still, as it was...
