• 2004:02 Strengthening the Radiation Protection System in Cuba (SRPS – Cuba)

  This project results from the co-operation between a number of Cuban and Swedish institutions. It started in February 2001 and ended in June 2003 and was made possible thanks to the contributions of the Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency (SIDA), the Centro de Protección e Higiene de las Radiaciones, Cuba (CPHR), and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI). The...

• 2003:20e Focusing on SSI’s risk and radiation protection criteria. A report based on discussions in focus groups in Östhammar and Oskarshamn municipalities

  The report contains the questions and points of views that emerged in the focus group discussions, from the municipalities participating in site selection investigation, will serve as a basis for the authority’s work of producing general guidelines associated with the regulations (SSI FS 1998:1). An expert group at the authority will answer or comment on the issues raised. Britt-Marie...

• 2003:16 Radon in Estonian dwellings. Results from a National Radon Survey

  A countrywide survey of radon concentrations in Estonian dwellings was carried out during the period 1998-2001. The survey formed a part of the cooperation program on radiation protection between the Estonian Radiation Protection (Kiirguskeskus) Centre and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI). The Estonian Environmental Foundation and the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs have...

• 2003:14 Exchange processes at geosphere-biosphere interfaceCurrent SKB approach and example of coupled hydrological- ecological approach

  The design of the repository for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel proposed by SKB is based on a multi barrier system, in which the geosphere and biosphere are the utmost barrier surrounding the engineer barriers. This report briefly reviews the current approach taken by SKB to account for hydrological and ecological processes at the geosphere-biosphere interface (GBI) and their future...

• 2003:12 Analysis of Critical Issues in Biosphere Assessment Modelling and Site Investigation

  The aim of this document is to present a critical review of issues concerned with the treatment of the biosphere and geosphere-biosphere interface in longterm performance assessment studies for nuclear waste disposal in Sweden. The review covers three main areas of investigation: a review of SKB’s plans for undertaking site investigations at candidate locations for the development of a deep...

• 2002:23 Validation of dose calculation

  This report describes a validation of the computer codes RESRAD-RECYCLE and CERISE, which are used to estimate radiation doses due to the recycling of scrap metal. Calculated external radiation doses to individuals are compared with measured data from different steps of the processing of slightly contaminated material, mainly in Studsvik, Sweden.

• 2002:22 Review of data types for the SKB site investigation programme

  SKB is currently undertaking a detailed site investigation programme (SIP) to characterise the geology and surface ecosystems in areas around potential sites for a planned repository for spent nuclear fuel. This report reviews site specific and generic data types needed to characterise biosphere processes relevant to the evaluation of long-term radiological safety in the context of assessments...

• 2002:15 Regulator’s Workshop on The Role of Future Society and Biosphere in Demonstrating Compliance with High-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Standards and Regulations

  This report summarizes the proceedings of a workshop, co-sponsored by the U.S. Environ-mental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI), held September 11–13, 2001 in Stockholm, Sweden. The invitations to participate in the Workshop were primarily extended to authorities in countries with major nuclear waste programs involving geological disposal and using...

• 2002:18 A Review of Models for Dose Assessment Employed by SKB in the Renewed Safety Assessment for SFR 1

  This document provides a critical review, on behalf of SSI, of the models employed by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) for dose assessment in the renewed safety assessment for the final repository for radioactive operational waste (SFR 1) in Forsmark, Sweden. The main objective of the review is to examine the models used by SKB for radiological dose assessment in a series...

• 2002:16 Epidemiologic Studies of Cellular Telephones and Cancer Risk – A Review

  Cellular telephones emit and receive radiofrequency (RF) signals between about 450 and 2200 MHz which fall in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. A RF wave from a cellular telephone contains billions of times less energy than an x-ray and is not capable of inducing ionizations or damaging DNA. The rapid and widespread use of this technology, however, has raised concern over...
