2012:60 Technical Note, Handling of climate related issues in the safety assessment SR-Site
The application is based on research carried out over several decades and is an impressive compilation of data and knowledge of the site of Forsmark. The sections on climate, glaciations and permafrost have developed continuously through the earlier compilations reported (e.g. the SR-97-reports). Much has been improved over the years while new question marks have occurred and some known...

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...

2012:62 Technical Note, Review of the MARFA Code
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 review SKB’s MARFA code and consider whether the technical arguments and assumptions used for developing the code are sound, appropriate and adequate to support its use in SR-Site. This Technical Note summarises the...

2012:18 Technical Note, SR-Site Independent Modelling of Engineered Barrier Evolution and Coupled THMC: Contribution to the Initial Review Phase
This review has focussed mainly on the modelling of the Engineered Barrier System (EBS) evolution, which includes coupled thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical (THMC) processes. Additionally, the role of the EBS in the wider safety case was reviewed, including its treatment in scenarios and its representation in conceptual models since this provided the motivation for the modelling work...

2011:26 The influence of temperature and fluid pressure on the fracture network evolution around deposition holes of a KBS-3V concept at Forsmark, Sweden
In preparation for the review of SKB’s license application for disposal of spent nuclear fuel, 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 about 500 m depth and embedded in clay. Thus, the rock, the clay and the copper canister...

2012:33 Technical Note, Review of Groundwater Chemistry in SKB’s Safety Assessment SR-Site
This initial review examined SKB’s characterization of groundwater chemistry at the Forsmark site and its evolution during long time periods under different possible climates in the future. The review considered whether the geochemical data provided by SKB are reasonable and sufficient and whether the methods used by SKB for projecting geochemical conditions into the future are appropriate.

2012:11 Issues in the corrosion of copper in a Swedish high level nuclear waste repository
The objective with this research project was to increase knowledge in the area of copper corrosion in the planned repository environment and obtain information on how copper corrosion evolves during the assessment period of 100 000 years. The equilibrium chemical composition of groundwater close to the canister as a function of temperature has been calculated by use of a thermodynamics code...

2012:08 Deterministic Assessment of Future Costs for Dismantling (FA)
In this study a model for advanced deterministic cost calculation has been used to find a parametric value on the cost for dismantling of the FA-facility. The study gives good description of good practise to collect, test and utilise input data in a systematic way in order to make prudent cost estimates for any particular nuclear installation The Swedish Law stipulates that future expenses...

2012:15 Technical Note, A review of the mechanical integrity of the canister
An introductory review of SR-Site has been conducted with respect to the mechanical integrity of the canister. The review is focused on the copper canister and the nodular cast iron insert. Review results show that a number of loads and loading scenarios for the copper canister has not been analysed by SKB. The importance of sufficient creep ductility of the copper material and sufficient...

2012:30 Technical Note, Initial review of physical properties and processes of the buffer and backfill. THM and other physical processes
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...
