• 2018:21 Research on Resaturation of Bentonite Buffer

  Background Resaturation processes in the bentonite buffer in a KBS-3 type repository for spent nuclear fuel are complicated and are often illustrated, analysed and modelled multi-disciplinarily as coupled thermal (T), hydrological (H) and mechanical (M) processes with multi-phase flow, elastoplastic evolution in a swelling porous medium. Previous THM-modelling showed that the re-saturation...

• 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...

• 2011:34 Evolution of hydrogen by copper in ultrapure water without dissolved oxygen

  One result from this research was that the experimental difficulties of repeating Hultqvist and co-workers work are considerable and were initially underestimated. The main challenge was to obtain satisfactory tightness of all connectors involved in the experimental set-up. The problems with leakage resulted in that the research program originally planned for in this project had to be reduced...

• 2014:20 An evaluation of high-temperature creep of zirconium alloys: data versus models

  In this report Dr Massih presents correlations for creep in different phases of zirconium alloys and also presents a general solution to the difficulty of accurately describing the material properties in phase transition for several zirconium alloys. Based upon superplasticity relations, models are adapted to fit with experimental data for materials in transition regions. The creep models are...

• 2017:15 Radionuclide release rates associated with bounding cases featuring relatively early canister failures in a spent fuel repository

  Background In 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) submitted a license application for construction of a geological repository for spent nuclear fuel according to the KBS-3 method, comprising of copper canisters, bentonite buffer, backfill and surrounding crystalline bedrock. The post-closure safety assessment of the repository, SR-Site, has been reviewed by the Swedish...

• 2023:11 Study of degradation of spent fuel’s structural material and core components under long-term wet storage

  SSM perspective Background Sweden is managing the spent nuclear fuel and core components from its commercial nuclear reactors with a national strategic plan. The fuel and core components are initially stored at the reactor site. After an on-site storage period to comply with transportation limits on decay heat and radiation, these materials are shipped to the Clab (Central Interim Storage...

• 2023:14 Effect of gamma-irradiation on the redox states of the structural iron in bentonite clay

  SSM perspective Background Bentonite clay is used as buffer and backfill material which form engineered barrier in the spent fuel repository. The buffer material surrounding the copper canister will be exposed to gamma and neutron radiations, especially during the first few hundred years after closure of the repository. The redox states of the structural iron in montmorillonite, the dominant...

• 2024:19 Finansiering av en minnesinstitution efter förslutning av slutförvar för använt kärnavfall

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund och syfte En central princip för dagens finansieringssystem för omhändertagandet av kärnämne och övrigt radioaktivt avfall som uppkommit vid drift och avveckling av kärnkraftverk är producentansvarsprincipen1. Ett finansieringssystem som grundas på en avgift per levererad kilowattimme till den s.k. Kärnavfallsfonden. I tillägg...

• 2025:02 INCLUDE: Including (local) stakeholder participation in the regulatory mission – a future challenge

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund Det primära fokus för SSM:s kommunikation med intressenter i samband med slutförvaring av använt kärnbränsle och kärnavfall har under flera år legat på formella samrådsprocesser kring den svenska kärnkraftsindustrins forsknings- och utvecklingsprogram samt SKB:s tillståndsansökningar enligt kärntekniklagen.
