11. Artificial groundwater recharge in wetlands: pre modelling for a pilot study in Forsmark, Sweden.
University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknikAbstract : The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company, SKB, is planning to construct a deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, Sweden. Leakage of groundwater into the repository during the construction and operational phases might cause a groundwater drawdown that in turn may affect the hydrological conditions in sensitive habitats in the area.

12. Diffusion in Thin Slits with Variable Aperture
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)Abstract : This project aims to evaluate and improve the design of an experimental setup for visualization and experimental verification of the Q-equivalent model. The Q-equivalent model by Neretnieks (1979) is used (by SKB in Sweden) to assess mass transport of radionuclides from a broken copper canister at a repository for nuclear waste to water seeping in the host rock fractures, and the same model can be used to assess the mass transport of corrosive agents from the water to the canister.

13. Radiation induced corrosion of copper
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)Abstract : The Swedish concept for storage of highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel is called the KBS-3 program. The proposed procedure is that the waste will be stored in a deep repository, 500 meters down in the Swedish bedrock, for 100 000 years. The fuel will be sealed inside cast iron cylinders surrounded by copper. READ MORE

15. Isotopic Disequilibrium for Assessment of Radionuclide Transport in Peat Lands : Uranium-Thorium Series Nuclides in a Core from Klarebäcksmossen, Oskarshamn, Sweden
University essay from Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : In order to assess the risks that are associated with a deep repository of nuclear waste, it is important to know how different radionuclides behave in different environments. Since some of the most critical radionuclides in nuclear waste such as Ra-226 occur naturally in the environment, it is possible to study their behaviour directly. READ MORE
