  • 1994:14 Evaluation of acceptance criteriafor data on environmentally assistedcracking in light water reactors

    The assessment of possible sub-critical crack growth through environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) is a commonly encountered problem in safety evaluations of light water reactor components. The numerous factors influencing EAC fall into three main groups (material, medium and loading), but their interactions are highly complex. Field assessments usually rely on the evaluation of...

  • 1994:15 Aging Degradation of Concrete Structures in Nuclear Power Plants

    This report on the aging-related degradation of concrete structures in nuclear power plants was prepared by Battelle Seattle Research Center for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI). The purpose of this report is to provide an understanding of how concrete structures in nuclear power plants degrade over time. This report is based on the studies of concrete aging commissioned by the...

  • 1992:3 Characterization of seismic ground motions for probabilistic safety analyses of nuclear facilities in Sweden. SUMMARY REPORT

    In Scandinavia seismic activity is generally low. Only a few incidents have been registered in historic time, which might have damaged an industrial plant of today. The risk of a nuclear accident in Sweden, caused by an earthquake, may thus be considered to be low. The two latest reactors Forsmark 3 and Oskarshamn 3 have been analysed and designed to resist a specified earthquake. For the...

  • 2017:34 Human capability to cope with unexpected events är publicerad

    Background In the light of the Fukushima accident, it stood clear that the challenge of the unexpected is of great importance to both regulators and licensees. For SSM, as for many other national regulators, there was a selfevident need to learn more about the capabilities and actions of people when the unexpected arises and conditions are potentially extreme. A task group was set up within...
