[en] The task of the safety assessment is to show 'that the repository has been designed with sufficient margins to be safe in spite of the incomplete knowledge available'. SKB mentions 'confidence in the results' as an important aspect. For the layman, confidence in the information presented is of the greatest importance. This means that the presentation of the safety assessment should be of a high visual standard with respect to descriptions of processes and events. SKB presented the purpose of SR 97 as four points. From a geological-structural geological viewpoint, the following can be mentioned: 1. Methodology for evaluating the geometry of the structural patterns of the bedrock at a depth of 500 m exists in general, but there are also certain deficiencies. Examples include determining the position of the individual structures and obtaining information. The importance of the bedrock is not completely clear. What is related to the rock type and what is related to the geological environment (including the geological evolution)? A clearer and more systematic compilation of data used in the safety assessment is required. 2. Work involving alternative models and evaluations of how well the models explain the collected data would be appropriate. The geological and structural models for a site are included as the base data in calculations and other modelling conducted in connection with the characterization of a site. 3. SR 97 does not provide any detailed information on site investigations. 4. The function of the bedrock as an external barrier is shown. However, to a certain extent, information on how this barrier can be affected by aseismic creep movements along fracture structures and the impact of selective erosion along such structures is lacking. Furthermore, criteria for properties of the rock volumes where deposition drifts are planned should be expanded, such as by determining a minimum width and suitable length-width relations
