  1. 1. Radiation Effects on KBS-3 Barriers: SKB’s work so far

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Ismael Safi; [2017]
    Keywords : KBS-3; Repository; Radiation; Bentonite; Montmorillonite;

    Abstract : In the Swedish concept for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel, referred to as KBS-3, a three-layered protection system is used. The system consists of a copper canister holding the spent nuclear fuel deposited 500 meters in a repository built in groundwater saturated granitic rock. READ MORE

  5. 4. Diffusion in Thin Slits with Variable Aperture

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Helen Winberg; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    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.

  6. 5. Radiation induced corrosion of copper

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)

    Author : Åsa Björkbacka; [2011]
    Keywords : Copper; radiation; gamma radiation; corrosion; SEM; IRAS; ICP; cuprite;

    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
