• 2016:14 Radiological examinations of children: a study of method options

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, decided in 2011 to investigate the justification of the use of diagnostic computed tomography (CT) for children up to fifteen years of age. The reason is the fact that CT is the main contributor to ionising radiation to the population. During the last decade, the annual number of CT examinations increased by 200%, and during the last 16 years, by...

• 2016:04 Uncertainty assessment of the SCANAIR V_7_5 computer program in analyses of BWR reactivity initiated accidents

  In this work, we assess uncertainties that can be expected in computational analyses of boiling water reactor reactivity initiated accidents with the SCANAIR V_7_5 computer program. The work is intended to supplement a similar uncertainty assessment, focussed on pressurized water reactor accidents, which is currently being organized as an international benchmark exercise by the OECD Nuclear...

• 2016:01 Literature Study on Sparse Channel Interpretation and Modeling

  Channelling has been observed in laboratory and field experiments at various scales. However, it is still an open research issue whether a sparse channel network is likely to be a better model than the fracture network model for representing the flow system in fractured rocks. The present report presents a literature study to bring together information useful for addressing this issue.
