It also contains SKB's collective evaluation of the results (Chapter 11). A status report was published in June 1994. The purpose of the status report was to give the municipality, its reference group and other interested groups in Storuman and in the region, a basis for discussion and opinions before the final report was written. Numerous viewpoints have been presented and have occasioned some supplemen- tary studies or adjustments and additions to the final report. The viewpoints of the reference group on the status report are compiled in an appendix to this final report. For SKB's part, this report represents the conclusion of the feasibility study. As is evident from the viewpoints of the reference group, there are important questions that have not been fully answered within the framework of the feasibility study. Answering some of these questions requires information that can only be provided by a site investigation. Other questions of a more general nature can be taken up if the final evaluation of the feasibility study results in a common interest to continue site investigations in Storuman. The municipality's planned independent review may also identify questions that should be further examined before a decision can be made on a possible continuation. Proposals for such additional studies must be discussed between SKB and Storuman Municipality. In conjunction with the inde- pendent review, SKB is prepared to provide additional data if required, as well as clarifications of SKB's attitude and viewpoints. The feasibility study in Storuman is the first of its kind. Similar feasibility studies are planned for 5-10 municipalities. For SKB's part, this first feasibility study has provided va'sjable experience for the siting work. SKB would like to thank all those who have, in different ways and from different points of departure, con- triu :evl Jo the locution of the feasibility study. Stockholm, hm--.-ry 1995 SWEDISH f. Ut f FAR FUEL AND WASTE MANAGEMENT CO Sten Bjurström President GENERAL BACKGROUND A deep repository differs from other industrial activities and other underground facilities in one essential respect: The facility is intended for the handling and disposal of materials with a high concentration of radioactive materials. This leads to special requirements on quality and safety, and consequently the foremost reason why the facility and its siting arouse discussion. To understand both the potential for safe handling and disposal and the potential risks associated with the waste, it is necessary to be aware of certain fundamental facts regarding the properties of the waste and the radiation emitted. The properties of the nuclear waste and the protective measures that are employed are described in concise and fundamental terms below. RADIOACTIVITY Radioactive materials (radionuclides) can be dangerous in two ways: • They emit radiation (mainly gamma radiation) that can harm humans. This is protected against by surrounding the radioactive waste with sufficiently thick radiation shields that absorb the radiation. Extensive experience of such protective measures has been gained from work at nuclear power plants and within medical applications. • They could conceivably get into the air or water and in this way reach man and enter the human body. This is protected against by making sure that the waste is in a solid form that makes it difficult or impossible for it to be vaporized in air or dissolved in water. In addition, the waste is surrounded by several barriers - e.g. canister, clay and rock - that prevent it from coming into any kind of contact with the human environment. HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE The spent nuclear fuel comes to the deep repository encapsulated in canisters of steel and copper, see Appendix I. The radioactive materials are contained (en- trapped) in the nuclear fuel, a ceramic material. The canister provides a hermetic- enclosure which prevents the radioactive substances in the fuel from coming into contact with the environment. The canister also attenuates the gamma radiation emitted by the fuel. An outer radiation shield is required during shipment and handling of the canisters. This is achieved by placing the canisters inside transport casks with steel walls up to two decimetres thick. When the canisters have been placed in the deep repository, all radiation is attenu- ated by the canister, the surrounding clay and the rock around the deposition holes so that the radiation level beyond one to two metres from each canister is not elevated above the natural background radiation level. There is therefore no way for radiation or radioactive materials to reach the environment and people on the ground surface directly. In other words, the deep repository is designed to prevent any radioactive release whatsoever (zero release). Thorough studies are made in the safety assessments of whether, and how, the different protective barriers can be damaged, and what consequences this would have. A fundamental principle - the multibarrier principle - is that safely shall not be dependent solely on one barrier, but that each of the barriers (the waste form, the canister, the clay, the rock) shall in itself be an effective obstacle against the escape of un> radioactive rudionu- elides. In a canister containing spent nuclear fuel, there is no generation of energy of the kind that is generated in a nuclear power plant. Nor is it physically possible for the fuel to be melted by heat or explode. Heat output in nuclear fuel at different times is illustrated in the table below. Heat in the spent fuel I decay heat) is generated by the disintegration (decav) of the radionuclides. Table 1. Heat output in nuclear fuel at different times. Time Heat output (kW/t fuel) During reactor operation 25.000 After reactor shutdown 1.500 During transport to interim storage (after I year) 10 During transport to deep repository (after about 40 years) 1 PURPOSE OF THE DEEP REPOSITORY In general, it can be concluded that the handling of encapsulated spent nuclear fuel at a deep repository is simpler than the handling of non-encapsulated fuel that takes place today at the nuclear power plants and the interim storage facility. CLAB. Total activity content and radiation are much lower and the waste is better pro- tected due to the fact that it is encapsulated. Nevertheless, the encapsulated fuel still contains large quantities of radionuclides. some of which are long-lived. This is the reason why it is necessary to arrange safe containment and isolation of the spent fuel from the living biosphere. Supervised storage, such as takes place in CLAB. is an effective method for interim (temporary) storage, but it is not a permanent solution, since if surveillance is suspended or relaxed, man and the environment still need to be protected. Swedish law therefore requires final dispo- sal, which is why Sweden, along with other countries, is working to bring about final disposal in deep geological formations (deep repositories). WASTE QUANTITIES Altogether, it is estimated that the Swedish nuclear power programme up to 2010 will have produced some S.000 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel. This waste will be encapsulated in approximately 4,500 copper/steel canisters which will be em- placed (deposited) in the deep repository. Besides spent fuel, approximately 20.000 m of other long-lived waste will be deposited in the deep repository. The deep repository will be constructed in two stages. Approximately 400 canisters of spent fuel will be deposited in the first stage. It is estimated that this initial operating period will start not earlier than 2008 and continue for roughly 5 years, after which the experience gained from this stage will be evaluated by SKB and the VI regulatory authorities. If the verdict is favourable, the rest of the repository will be built (stage 2). The largest quantities of waste from the nuclear power plants and other nuclear facilities consist of operational and decommissioning waste. The total volume is estimated at 190.000 m'. This waste is planned to be emplaced in the Final Repository for Radioactive Operational Waste (SFR) in Forsmark. ABBREVIATIONS The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company. SKB. is responsible for the management and disposal of Sweden's radioactive waste. The primary category is waste from the nuclear power plants, but radioactive waste is also produced by hospitals, industry and research institutions. SKB was formed jointly by the power utilities that produce nuclear energy in Sweden. The Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate. SKI, and the Swedish Radiation Protec- tion Institute, SSI, are the public authorities who scrutinize the activities of SKB and oversee safety both in the operation of the nuclear power plants and in waste management. SKI also administers fees charged on the production of nuclear- generated electricity that are intended to finance the management and disposal of the nuclear waste. Besides these two authorities, there is a scientific council. KASAM (the National Council for Nuclear Waste). KASAM is associated with the Ministry of the Environment and has been given the task of submitting a report to the Government every third year with its independent assessment of the state of knowledge in the nuclear waste field. Numerous references are made in this report to CLAB, SFR and the Äspö HRL.

SKB's overall evaluation is that the municipality of Mala could provide good pros- pects for a deep repository. We would like to mention two factors in particular as arguments in support of this conclusion; the bedrock and the local mining tradition. The bedrock is decisive in determining the feasibility of achieving safe disposal, and there are large areas in Mala Municipality where we judge the bedrock conditions to be good. We cannot determine, however, whether a particular site is definitely suitable from the feasibility study - that will require direct investigations on the site. The mining industry, with all its peripheral activities, has through the years made Mala a centre of knowledge on geoscience and underground rock excavation. We are familiar with the value of this knowledge because specialists from Mala - geologists, geophysicists, diamond drillers and others - have participated in SKB's development activities since the start in the 1970s.

Rapporten finns även tillgänglig som PDF på Länsstyrelsens webb- plats ISSN: 0348-0291 2 Förord Länsstyrelsen har uppdraget att förvalta rovdjuren i länet. För en bra förvaltning krävs bra information om rovdjurens antal och utbredning. I Västerbotten tillgodoses det behovet bland annat genom regelbundna inventeringar av björnstammen med hjälp av DNA-analys av in- samlad spillning. Första gången skedde detta 2004, andra gången 2009 och hösten 2014 var det dags igen. Spillningsinventeringar är svåra att genomföra utan en tät samverkan mellan Länsstyrelsen, jägarna, björnforskarna och ett laboratorium som genomför analyserna. Metoderna utvecklas ständigt. Västerbotten är med i arbetet att driva utvecklingen framåt och att öka vår kunskap om björnarna, inte bara i länet, utan också långt utanför. Ett led i detta arbete har varit att använda en ny metodik vid DNA-analyserna. Denna metod, som grundar sig på skillnader mellan olika björnindivider med avseende på enstaka byggste- nar i arvsmassan, har visat sig fungera mycket väl. Metoden har en hög analysframgång, den är förhållandevis billig och den ger en mängd information om björnstammens storlek, utbred- ning och struktur och i förlängningen även dess dynamik. Denna rapport ska ge en samlad bild över det arbete som genomfördes i Västerbotten 2014 och de resultat som har erhållits. De som har samlat spillning ges här tillfälle att sätta de egna proverna in i ett större sammanhang och att reflektera över vad som var bra och vad som kan bli bättre.

  • Groundwater Chemistry Affected by Trace Elements (As, Mo, Ni, U and V) from a Burning Alum Shale Waste Deposit, Kvarntorp, Sweden
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-021-12784-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Groundwater chemistry affected by trace elements (As, Mo, Ni, U and V) from a burning alum shale waste deposit, Kvarntorp, Sweden Kristina Åhlgren1 & Viktor Sjöberg1 & Bert Allard1 & Mattias Bäckström1 Received: 1 September 2020 /Accepted: 29 January 2021 # The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Worldwide, black shales and shale waste are known to be a potential source of metals to the environment. This project demonstrates ongoing weathering and evaluates leaching processes at a 100-m-high shale waste deposit closed in the 1960s. Some deep parts of the deposit are still burning with temperatures exceeding 500 °C. To demonstrate ongoing weathering and leaching, analyses of groundwater and solid samples of shale and shale waste have been undertaken. Largest impact on ground- water quality was observed downstream the deposit, where elevated temperatures also indicate a direct impact from the burning waste deposit. Groundwater quality is largely controlled by pH and redox conditions (e.g., for arsenic, nickel, molybdenum, uranium and vanadium), and the mixture of different waste materials, including pyrite (acidic leachates) and carbonates (neu- tralizing and buffering pH). Analyses of shale waste from the deposit confirm the expected pyrite weathering with high concen- trations of iron, nickel and uranium in the leachates. No general time trends could be distinguished for the groundwater quality from the monitoring in 2004–2019. This study has shown that black shale waste deposits can have a complex long-term impact on the surrounding environment. Keywords Black shale . Groundwater chemistry .

Müller, Umeå/Sweden Tourism labor market impacts of national parks The case of Swedish Lapland Joakim Byström / Dieter K. Müller: Tourism labor market impacts of national parks Abstract: In a Nordic context, economic impacts of tourism in national parks remained largely un- known due to lacking implementation of standardized comparative measurements. For this reason, we want to investigate the economic impacts of national parks in a peripheral Scandinavian context by analyzing employment in tourism. Theoretically, the paper addresses the idea of nature protection as a tool for regional development. The scientific literature suggests that nature can be considered a commodity that can be used for the production of tourism experiences in peripheries. In this context nature protection is applied as a label for signifying attractive places for tourists leading to increased tourist numbers and employment. This argument follows mainly North American experiences point- ing at a positive impact of protected areas on regional development. Meanwhile European studies are more skeptical regarding desired economic benefits. A major challenge is the assessment of tourism’s economic impacts. This paper suggests an approach that reveals the impacts on the labor market. This is particularly applicable since data is readily available and, moreover from a public perspective, employment and tax incomes are of uppermost importance in order to sustain population figures and local demand for public services. At the same time accessibility and low visitor numbers form major challenges for tourism stakeholders and complicate the assessment of economic impacts through questionnaires and interviews.
