Spent Fuel Repository for low and intermediate radioactive waste, SFR, is owned by SKB (Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co). The repository needs more monitoring of groundwater seepage and improvement of the monitoring methods. Seepage is currently managed by a system that collects the seepage in 2 levels before pumping it to the surface. The current method only allows for the continuous measurement of groundwater seepage in one location in the system. Seepage is measured once per year in different locations in the repository to monitor the amount of seepage in the different parts of the repository. The seepage is primarily caused by deformation zones in the vicinity of the facility. The suggested improvements to the measuring system are to increase the number of places that measure groundwater seepage and up dated the current system in order to increase the measuring accuracy.
