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...

2012:71 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...

2012:59 Technical Note, Initial review phase – Dose Assessment Methodology
This report has been prepared as part of the Initial Review Phase of SKB’s SR-Site performance assessment of the long-term safety of the KBS-3 geological disposal facility (GDF) proposed for construction at Forsmark. The review addresses the methodology employed in the dose assessment calculations of SR-Site. In this respect the review has a natural focus upon biosphere modelling aspects of...

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...

2012:35 Technical Note, Review of SKB’s Code Documentation and QA for the SR-Site Safety Assessment
This initial review examined the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) code documentation and quality assurance, which is important to the safety assessment SR-Site because the computer codes used must be both suitable for the analyses performed and capable of producing accurate results for those analyses. SKB has prepared a report that summarizes the code documentation...

2012:17 Technical Note, Corrosion of copper canister
It is expected that the inflow of ground water to the deposition holes and tunnels in the Forsmark repository will be very slow. Thus, it might take some few hundred years up to thousand years before the deposition holes are filled with ground water and it might take 6000 years or more before the bentonite buffer is fully water saturated and pressurized. The copper canisters will therefore...

2012:24 Technical Note, Initial Review of SR-Site Main Report
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) is reviewing a license application, which has been submitted by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB), for a repository for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. SKB’s Application includes an assessment of the long-term safety of the proposed repository. The assessment is known as SR-Site. This technical note records the findings from a...

2012:13 Technical Note, A review of the creep ductility of copper for nuclear waste canister application
SKB has presented insufficient evidence to justify their position that the OFP copper has an adequate creep ductility during long term storage. Their large body of experiments only serves to prove that the creep ductility is sufficient for much shorter time spans than the intended storage times. There is a clear need for a credible theory of creep brittleness of OFP copper which will permit...

2012:06 Decommissioning Cost Assessment
The future costs for dismantling, decommissioning and handling of associated radioactive waste of nuclear installations represents substantial liabilities. It is the generations that benefits from the use of nuclear installations that shall carry the financial burden. Nuclear waste programmes have occasionally encountered set-backs related to the trust from society. This has resulted in...
