“…However, the so-called SKB-50 fuel, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anucene.2023.109941 Received 26 January 2023; Received in revised form 15 April 2023; Accepted 21 May 2023 selected in 2013-2014, comprising 25 BWR and25 PWR SNFs from the Swedish nuclear reactors, is spanning the range of fuel parameters initial enrichment, burnup, cooling time expected to be encountered during encapsulation and geological storage. It constitutes a unique set of SNFs that have been repeatedly measured by multiple instruments over many years (Jansson et al, 2020;Vaccaro et al, 2016;Trahan et al, 2020), to develop techniques to be used for SNFs characterization before encapsulation and final storage. The collected data also offers a unique opportunity to evaluate the reproducibility of gamma spectroscopy of SNF.…”
