• 2014:05 Technical Note, Assessment of flows to deposition holes – Main Review Phase

  SKB’s conceptual model for flow through the fractured rock at Forsmark is based on a division between highly fractured deformation zones (described in terms of deterministic geometry), and the more sparsely fractured rock (described in terms of statistical geometry). The model for the highly fractured deformation zones includes several assumptions that are not strongly supported by data,...

• 2013:36 Technical Note, Review and assessment of aspects of the Qeq concept – Main Review Phase

  This technical review assignment considers the models and abstractions that Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) developed to represent transport of dissolved constituents in the near field at the Forsmark site, in particular the Qeq abstraction for diffusive transport. SKB uses the Qeq parameter to scale concentration gradients in order to estimate dissolved-species fluxes...

• 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...

• 2013:33 Technical Note, Seismology – Frequencies and mechanisms. -Initial review phase

  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...

• 2013:28 Brine intrusion by upconing for a high-level nuclear waste repository at Forsmark. Scoping calculations

  The objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility of salt-water migration to the spent nuclear repository. This objective is motivated by the adverse impacts of water with too high salinity entering the repository and by the uncertainty of the relevant hydraulic and hydrogeochemical conditions at the Forsmark site at great depths. To analyse density dependent flow and salt transport...

• 2013:16 Technical Note, Assessment of PWR fuel depletion and of neutron multiplication factors for intact PWR fuel copper canisters – main review phase

  SKB (Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB) in 2011 applied to the Swedish government for approval of a proposed solution for disposal of used fuel from Swedish nuclear power reactors and some relatively minor quantities of other fissile material. This Technical Note contains results of a recent review of the SKB methods used to determine the influence of reactor depletion on keff of intact...

• 2012:71 Identification of Brittle Deformation Zones and Weakness Zones

  In preparation for the review of Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company’s (SKB) license application for disposal of spent nuclear fuel, Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (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...

• 2012:67 Technical Note, Hydrogeological modelling of the Forsmark site

  A modelling study has been conducted using discrete-fracture network (DFN) models in combination with discrete-feature hydrogeological modelling methods for representation of other potentially conductive features such as the disturbed zone around repository tunnels. The principal results consist of hydraulic and transport property estimates for discrete-fracture network (DFN) models on block...

• 2012:65 Technical Note, Review of the Nuclear Criticality Safety of SKB’s Licensing Application for a Spent Nuclear Fuel Repository in Sweden

  The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company in 2011 applied to the Swedish government for approval of a proposed solution for disposal of used fuel from Swedish nuclear power reactors and some relatively minor quantities of other fissile material. This Technical Note contains results of a recent nuclear criticality safety review of the overall prospects of the application being able...

• 2012:61 Geochemical Constraints on Buffer Pore Water Evolution and Implications for Erosion

  Mineralogical data from the Forsmark Site show that smectite and calcite occur at all depths in Forsmark fractures, with no evidence for removal/dissolution by previous glacial episodes. This natural analogue information implies that these minerals may not have been eroded/dissolved during previous glacial episodes. Available thermodynamic data suggest that repository-depth Forsmark...
