Treatment and final disposal of nuclear waste: Programme for encapsulation, deep geological disposal, and research, development and demonstration: Ch 6 - App 1
Treatment and final disposal of nuclear waste: Programme for encapsulation, deep geological disposal, and research, development and demonstration: Ch 6 - App 1
In RD&D-Programme 92, SKB presented a partially new strategy for its activities. The new strategy entailed a focusing and concentration on the implementation of deep disposal of a limited quantity (about 800 tonnes) of encapsulated spent nuclear fuel during the coming 20-year period. Following this initial deposition, the results of the work will be evaluated, and only then will a decision be taken as to how and when regular deposition of the main body of the fuel and other long-lived nuclear waste will take place.
Possible Strategies for Geoscientific Classification for High-Level Waste Repository Site Selection
Possible Strategies for Geoscientific Classification for High-Level Waste Repository Site Selection
This work was performed to suggest possible strategies for geoscientific classifications in the siting process of a high-level repository. To develop a feasible method for geoscientific classifications, a number of factors of a philosophical character, related to the purpose of the classifications, need to be accounted for. Many different approaches can be visualized, and this report was not intended to present a complete classification methodology.

Management of Uncertainty in Safety Cases and the Role of Risk - Workshop Proceedings
Management of Uncertainty in Safety Cases and the Role of Risk - Workshop Proceedings
The development of radioactive waste repositories involves consideration of how the waste and the
engineered barrier systems will evolve, as well as the interactions between these and, often relatively
complex, natural systems. The timescales that must be considered are much longer than the timescales
that can be studied in the laboratory or during site characterisation. These and other factors can lead to
various types of uncertainty (on scenarios, models and parameters) in the assessment of long-term,

Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, Denmark National Report
Denmark signed the Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management 29 September 1997, the day it opened for signature. The Convention was accepted 3 September 1999 by letter from the Foreign Ministry to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Until further notice the Convention does not apply for the autonomous territories Greenland and the Faroe Islands, which both do not possess spent nuclear fuel or radioactive waste. The present report is the Danish National Report for the Second Review Meeting to the Convention.

Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management, Sweden National Report
Spent fuel in Sweden emanates mainly from four commercial nuclear power plants. In addition there is one material testing reactor and one research reactor. The radioactive waste originates from the nuclear power industry as well as medical use, industry, research and consumer products.

Stakeholder Dialogue: Experience and Analysis
Stakeholder Dialogue: Experience and Analysis
The report begins with a consideration of the factors which have led to a growth in the use of dialogue processes, a clarification of key concepts and a classification of dialogue processes. A description of recent and current activities in Europe and North America is followed by discussion of the relationship of processes and contexts. This then leads to an identification of the key aims and evaluation criteria which will be used in the design of dialogue processes to be conducted in subsequent phases of the project.

Design and Evaluation of Public Hearings for Swedish Site Selection A Report from the RISCOM II Project
Public hearings were held in the Swedish municipalities of Östhammar, Tierp and Älvkarleby, Hultsfred and Oskarshamn and in Nyköping in February of 2001. The municipalities had taken part in feasibility studies, conducted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co. (SKB), in the previous years. The hearings were organised by the Swedish regulatory authorities, i.e. the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI) and aimed at complementing the authorities’ reviews of SKB’s work and plans.

Geosphere Performance Indices: Comparative measures for site selection and safety assesment of deep waste repositories
Geosphere Performance Indices: Comparative measures for site selection and safety assesment of deep waste repositories
The concept of Geosphere Perfonnance Indices (GPis) is proposed. The "performance"<br/>refers to the geosphere's capacity to retain/contain radionuclides in the event of their accidental<br/>release at some point in time. The GPis are based on the Lagrangian stochastic-analytical<br/>framework for transport in the subsurface and are believed to render useful tools in performance<br/>assessment studies in general and in the site selection process in particular.
