2023:14 Effect of gamma-irradiation on the redox states of the structural iron in bentonite clay
SSM perspective Background Bentonite clay is used as buffer and backfill material which form engineered barrier in the spent fuel repository. The buffer material surrounding the copper canister will be exposed to gamma and neutron radiations, especially during the first few hundred years after closure of the repository. The redox states of the structural iron in montmorillonite, the dominant...

2023:13 TPR 2023 Fire Protection Swedish National Assessment Report
Executive Summary The European Union’s Nuclear Safety Directive 2014/87/EURATOM (NSD) requires the member states to undertake topical peer reviews (TPR) every 6 years. The first topical peer review concerned Ageing management and started in 2017. The member states, acting through the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (ENSREG), decided that the topic for the second topical peer review...

2023:11 Study of degradation of spent fuel’s structural material and core components under long-term wet storage
SSM perspective Background Sweden is managing the spent nuclear fuel and core components from its commercial nuclear reactors with a national strategic plan. The fuel and core components are initially stored at the reactor site. After an on-site storage period to comply with transportation limits on decay heat and radiation, these materials are shipped to the Clab (Central Interim Storage...

2022:18 Data report – sampling of sea water and marine organisms outside Ringhals NPP
SSM perspective Background The Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) funded the collection of marine biota over an annual cycle at the Ringhals nuclear power plant (NPP) to enable development of analytical methods for C-14. Methods for the C-14 analysis and results in the form of levels of C-14 in various marine organisms have been reported by the Swedish Defense Research Institute (FOI) in FOI...

2022:14 Weld residual stress and strain measurements on a mock-up with single layer strip cladding common in reactor pressure vessels
Summary Residual stress and strain measurements were performed on a mock-up consisting of a 160 mm thick low-alloy ferritic steel plate of type SA-508 Class 3 with a single layer weld deposited strip cladding of austenitic stainless steel E308L. The cladding was manufactured with submerged arc strip welding adapted to a procedure used for reactor pressure vessels in the 1970s. Comprehensive...

2022:09 Assessment of modelling approaches for axial gas flow inside LWR fuel rods
SSM perspective Background The fuel rod analysis program SCANAIR has been developed by IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire) for analysis of reactivity initiated accidents (RIA) in light water reactors. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has access to SCANAIR in exchange for annual contributions for its further development. The development...
