  • 2007:22 Safety Management An Introduction to a Frame of Reference Exemplified with Case Studies from Non-Nuclear Contexts

    A systems perspective has been applied on safety management that will be the foundation for the frame of reference the authors intend to build during the three-year long project. The case studies are presented and form illustrations of both high quality safety management and weaknesses of the safety management and take a look at information feedback about the risks of the systems. An...

  • 2007:44e An Introduction to Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Safeguards

    The compendium at hand will be used both within an outside Sweden as course material. It is partly a result from the work done by TKM (Training and knowledge management), which is a working group within Esarda (European Safeguards Research and Development Association) that on a yearly basis educates students from all over Europe. The intention is that the material shall be used in conjunction...

  • 2007:07 DECOVALEX-THMC Project - Task A

    This report presents the definition of the first phase, Task A-1, of the Task A of the international DECOVALEX project. The task is a working example of how interaction between THMC modelling and SA analysis could be performed. Starting with the technical definition of the Task A, the report presents the results of preliminary THM calculations with a purpose of an initial appreciation of the...

  • 2007:03 Variability and Uncertainties of Key Hydrochemical Parameters for SKB Sites

    An important part of the site investigations conducted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) is the characterisation of groundwater chemical conditions in the deep bedrock environment where a final repository for spent nuclear fuel is planned to be located. This work is currently in its final stages at the two candidate sites, Forsmark and Laxemar, and should be...

  • 2007:02 Stakeholder involvement in Swedish nuclear waste management

    This report have attempted to show the development of stakeholder involvement in the siting of a final repository for Sweden’s spent nuclear fuel as resembling something other than a straightforward linear process of improvement and refinement. Stakeholder involvement has developed, over the past 15 years or so, in something more like a patchwork of different shapes and forms. Some of the...

  • 2007:15 Evaluation of the FRAPTRAN -1.3 Computer Cod

    The FRAPTRAN-1.3 computer code has been evaluated regarding its applicability, modelling capability, user friendliness, source code structure and supporting experimental database. The code is intended for thermo-mechanical analyses of light water reactor nuclear fuel rods under reactor power and coolant transients, such as overpower transients, reactivity initiated accidents (RIA),...

  • 2007:06 Probabilistic Safety Goals - Phase 1 -Status and Experiences in Sweden and Finland

    Based on a series of interviews and on literature reviews as well as on a limited interna- tional over-view, the project has described the history and current status of safety goals in Sweden and Finland. A number of issues were discussed more in detail, including the status of the safety goals in view of the fact that they are often exceeded, strategies for handling violations of safety...

  • 2007:39 Influence of Crack Morphology on Leak Before Break Margins

    The SKI regulation SKIFS 2004:2 allows for the use of Leak Before Break (LBB) as one way to provide assurance that adequate protection exists against the local dynamic consequences of a pipe break. The way to demonstrate that LBB prevails relies on a deterministic procedure for which a leakage crack is postulated in certain sections of the pipe based on the leak detection capability of the...

  • 2007:04 Link Between RI-ISI and Inspection Qualification: Relationship between Defect Detection Rate and Margin of Detection

    A relationship has been established between defect detection ratio and margin of detection based on blind trails. The results are based on a rather small amount of data produced by personnel from one inspection laboratory but give us indications of how signal to noise ratio is possible to relate to the probability of detection (POD) used in RI-ISI models. The relationship need to be developed...
