• 2007:03 Variability and Uncertainties of Key Hydrochemical Parameters for SKB Sites

  An important part of the site investigations conducted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) is the characterisation of groundwater chemical conditions in the deep bedrock environment where a final repository for spent nuclear fuel is planned to be located. This work is currently in its final stages at the two candidate sites, Forsmark and Laxemar, and should be...

• 2007:11 Review of Quality Assurance in SKBs Repository Research Experiments

  SKB is preparing a license application for the construction of a final repository for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden. This application will be supported by the safety assessment SR-Site for the post-closure phase. As a preparation for SR-Site SKB has recently produced the SRCan safety assessment, which is currently in review. The assessment of long-term safety is based on a broad range of...

• 2007:12 Development of a constitutive model for the plastic deformation and creep of copper and its use in the estimate of the creep life of the copper canister

  The copper-iron canister for disposal of nuclear waste in the Swedish Programme has a design life exceeding 100,000 years. Whilst the operating temperature and operating stress are modest, the very long design life does require that the likely creep performance of the canister should be investigated. Many studies have been carried out by SKB but these have all involved very short duration...

• 2007:10 DECOVALEX-THMC - Task D

  The DECOVALEX project is an international cooperative project initiated by SKI, the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate, with participation of about 10 international organizations. The name DECOVALEX stands for DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against Experiments. The general goal of this project is to encourage multidisciplinary interactive and cooperative research on...
