• 2014:57 Technical Note, Issues in the Corrosion of Copper in a Swedish High Level Nuclear Waste Repository: Phase III. Role of Sulphide Ion in Anodic and Cathodic Processes

  The most important findings of this research project show that: In the case when the bentonite buffer between the copper canister and the granitic rock is not damaged, we can neglect the possibility of general corrosion damage being a threat to canister integrity over a 100,000 year storage period. However, if the bentonite buffer is damaged for any reason, and does not act as an engineered...

• 2014:48 Technical Note, Independent assessment of groundwater sulphide content in the long-te

  Groundwater sulphide content is a key factor in the determination of canister lifetimes because of its role in corrosion of copper. SKB has based the canister lifetime analysis on a distribution of measured sulphide concentrations which are assumed to apply throughout the long-term analysis period. The distribution is based on expert judgement in the selection of samples that are regarded as...

• 2014:50 Technical Note, A Study of Availability of Fuel Data for Sweden’s Spent Nuclear Fuel

  The study covers all types spent fuel planned to be placed in the final repository. It was carried out by selecting a sample of spent fuel and investigating the information available at the Nuclear Power Plants (NPP’s) in Sweden, the Central interim storage facility (Clab) and Studsvik. The results indicate that the required data is available and can be obtained for fuel unloaded after 1980.

• 2014:41 Technical Note, Review of Radionuclide Abstraction and Selection in the SKB Safety Case -Main Review Phase

  As part of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) review of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) SR-Site safety assessment for a spent nuclear fuel repository in Sweden, this technical note documents the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA®) review of the abstraction and selection of radionuclides in the SKB safety case. Specifically, CNWRA...

• 2014:38 Technical Note, Detailed assessment of radionuclide Kd-values for the geosphere-main review phase

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing an application submitted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) in 2011 to construct and operate a deep geologic repository for spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site in the municipality of Östhammar, Sweden. SKB has presented details of its long-term safety assessment, SR-Site, in a main report (SKB, 2011,...

• 2014:33 Technical Note, Reproduction of SKB’s Canister Failure Calculations - What-If and ‘Residual’ Scenario to Illustrate Barrier Functions

  The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) included analysis of a range of scenarios in its SR-Site report. SKB grouped these scenarios into two categories—main and residual. The main scenario included a likely scenario (corrosion failure) and a less probable scenario (seismicity-induced shear failure). The residual scenario included two unlikely scenarios—isostatic-load and...

• 2014:07 Technical Note, Review of the geological mapping and geophysical measurement techniques for the determination of critical properties around deposition holes -Main Review Phase

  This Technical Note reports the findings of a detailed evaluation of the geological and geophysical methods proposed by SKB with respect to their ability, resolution, performance, reliability and robustness to measure the geomechanical parameters critical for determining deposition hole acceptability during repository operation. Addressed are specific questions focusing on the detection of...

• 2014:17 Technical Note, Assessment of radiological effects on non-human biota –Main Review Phase

  This report presents a review of SKBs assessment of the long-term radiological effects on plants and animals of a deep geological repository as described in SKB report TR-10-08. The SKB report is one of a number contributing to the overall safety assessment, referred to as SR-Site, for the repository. The conclusion of the SKB report was that the ‘study gives no reason to assume that any of...

• 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,...

• 2014:23 Technical Note, Workshop on Rock Mechanics Issues and their Implications for Groundwater Flow – Main Review Phase

  This report describes the outcome of the workshop organized by SSM on Rock Mechanics and Hydrogeology that was held in Stockholm on the 30/9 and 1/10, 2013. The report summarizes the issues discussed and extracts the essential viewpoints that have been expressed. It should not be considered as a comprehensive record of all the discussions at the workshop and individual statements made by...
