• 2012:43 Technical Note, Literature review of groundwater flow in permafrost

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) assigned the task of compiling the state of the knowledge with respect to groundwater flow in permafrost conditions. In particular, the study was to consider whether (i) the main processes related to groundwater flow in permafrost were understood, (ii) appropriate field data was available, and (iii) current models appropriately represent 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...

• 2013:35 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics – Confidence of SKB’s models for predicting the occurrence of a damage zone around the excavations – Main Review Phase

  This assignment, performed at Southwest Research Institute, focusses on evaluating SKB’s assessment of potential occurrence of damaged rock zones (also referred to as excavation-damaged zone or EDZ) around underground excavations at the site. This report presents the authors’ evaluation of SKB’s assessment in the specific area based on questions raised by SSM. The evaluation includes...

• 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...

• 2012:42 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...

• 2012:29 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...

• 2012:26 Technical Note, Initial review of chemical and erosional processes within the buffer and backfill - Chemical erosion processes

  The SR-Site documentation relevant to this review topic was found to be of sufficiently high quality overall to justify further consideration in the Main Review Phase of SSM’s PCS (Post-closure safety) project. Several specific topics for which complementary information and clarifications should be requested from SKB were also identified (Appendix 2). Specific review topics for consideration...

• 2012:52 Technical Note, Shear movement of near-field rock due to large earthquakes

  The review assignment concentrates on the possible impact of large earthquakes on the shear deformation of large fractures in the repository volume. For this purpose a general review of some of SKB‘s top-level reports was carried out. The reports draw a generally consistent and to a considerable extend comprehensive picture of the potential impact on the repository integrity in case of the...
