2012:55 Technical Note, Review of SKB’s Radionuclide Transport Methodology
As part of SSM’s Initial Review Phase of SKB’s SR-Site safety assessment of the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site, Quintessa has been requested by SSM to consider whether SKB’s methodology to abstract FEPs (features, events, processes), as well as site information and other data, into assessment models for radionuclide transport is appropriate and sufficient for its...

2012:68 Assessment of cost for dismantling of Ringhals 2 PWR
The Financing Act stipulates that future expenses for dismantling of Nuclear Power Plants (NPP) shall be financed from segregated funds that are supervised by the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund (SNWF). Transparency of and confidence in the process to ensure collection of sufficient funds is fundamental for the acceptance and sustainability of the Swedish model for estimating environmental...

2012:41 Technical Note, Hydrogeological conditions at the Forsmark site
The hydrogeological site description and groundwater models employed in support of SR-Site, in many ways, represent advances in the state of the art for crystalline bedrock where groundwater moves mainly through fractures. Advanced methods are used for representing water-conducting natural features on scales from kilometres down to a meter, as well as excavated portions of the repository...

2012:38 Technical Note, Radiological effects on non-human biota - initial review
The focus of this review was SKB’s assessment of radiological effects on non-human biota in SR-Site according to present regulations and guidance from SSM and it was conducted by Karolina Stark at the Department of Systems Ecology, Stockholm University. In short, the results from this review show that the completeness of the safety assessment can be questioned regarding considered...

2018:08 Calculated radiological consequences of applying European clearance levels to scrap metal from the decommissioning of Swedish nuclear facilities
Background Many practices involving radioactive substances generate materials with potential or known radioactive contamination. Clearance of materials means a decision that such materials can be released from regulatory control and used or disposed of without restrictions from a radiation protection point of view. According to regulations issued by the SSM, such decisions must be based on...

2014:40 Technical Note, Review of Performance Confirmation Programs and Potential Roles in SSM’s Current Review of SKB’s License Application – Main Review Phase
The initial license application of a repository concept for disposal of radioactive waste is based on extensive site characterization, baseline monitoring, development of disposal designs and engineered barriers, test data on engineered barriers, and the integration of a series of models representing processes controlling the containment, release and migration of radionuclides from the...

2014:59 Technical Note, Relation between earthquake magnitude, fracture length and fracture shear displacement in the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark – Main Review Phase
This study addresses one of several scenarios that could impair the physical integrity of the repository of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site. Two sources of threat are: i) events due to thermal loading on the rock mass by the heat from canisters with spent nuclear fuel, and ii) seismic events, i.e. earthquakes, at the nearby deformation zones and zones intersecting the repository area.

2008:11 Discrete-Feature Modelling of Groundwater Flow and Solute Transport for SR-Can Review
Review External review contribution in support of SKI's and SSI's review of SR-Can. The work presented in this report is part of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority’s (SSI) SR-Can review project. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) plans to submit a license application for the construction of a repository for...

2008:47 Selected Models for Key Processes in a Nuclear Waste Repository
The conceptual design of the disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden is based on a multibarrier system. In the KBS-3 concept, the bentonite buffer is a barrier with the primary purpose of surrounding and protecting the canister. The bentonite buffer is expected to prevent or minimise the water exchange with the surrounding rock and protect the canister against mechanical damages caused by...

2009:08 Shear-induced Fracture Slip and Permeability Change - Implications for Long-term Performance of a Deep Geological Repository
Opening of fractures induced by shear dilation or normal deformation can be a significant source of fracture permeability change in jointed rock, which is important for the performance assessment of geological repositories for spent nuclear fuel. As the repository generates heat and later cools the fluid-carrying ability of the rocks becomes a dynamic variable during the lifespan of the...
