2007:37 Identification of Common Cause Initiating Events Using the NEA IRS Database
The study carried out within the framework of this project is a continuation of work conducted for SKI in 1998 on the identification of Common Cause Initiators based on operational events documented in the NEA Incident Reporting System (IRS). This project covered the events reported in the IRS database with the incident date in the period of 1980- 01-01 – 2006-11-15. The events of highest...

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...

2007:02e Radiation Environment in Sweden, summary
The radiation environment to which the population of Sweden is exposed is dominated by medical investigations and background radiation from the ground and building materials in our houses. That is the conclusion of the first general Swedish summary of environmental monitoring data and dose calculations within the field of radiation. The report shows that people’s behaviour in the form of...

2006:15e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2005
The safety philosophy upon which the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) supervisory and regulatory activities are based assume that multiple physical barriers will exist and that a plant-specific defence-in-depth system will be implemented at each plant and that the licensee bears the undivided responsibility for safety. The physical barriers are situated between the radioactive...

2006:02 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Third annual report from SSIs Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields 2005
SSI:s international independent expert group for electromagnetic fields was established in 2002. In December each year a report on the scientific development in the field is delivered to the Director General of SSI. This is the third annual report. Recent studies from the REFLEX programme suggest genotoxic effects from exposure to relatively weak extremely low frequency and radio frequency...
