• 03:2024 Radon dose conversion coefficients and their use in the Nordic countries

  exposure would be twice as high, and in some cases even higher. This may lead to an increased number of workplaces being considered as a planned exposure situations and requiring a safety license under ... previously considered safe enough is no longer acceptable. A further complication factor is that the ICRP and UNSCEAR each have their own, different dose conversion coefficients. The problem is not confined to...

• 2024:10 Computational analysis of high-burnup fuel rod behaviour in PWR large-break LOCA

  of nuclear fuel in events such as LOCA and RIA. The research projects have been based on evaluations of tests on nuclear fuel in Halden Reactor Project (HRP) and Studsvik Cladding Integrity Project (SCIP) ... (SCIP). The models developed by QT enable analyses and interpretations of the tests, including the analysis of new phenomena such as fuel fragmentation and its impact on the damage process. In this research...
