2026:04 3D Discrete Element Modelling of Fluid Injection Induced Fault Slip in Argillaceous Rock – Mt.Terri Fault Slip Experiment
SSM perspective Background and objective It is a well-known phenomenon that artificial increased in pore pressure at depth, due to subsurface fluid injection, can trigger earthquakes (Walsh and Zoback 2015, and references therein). Increased pore pressures at depth can also occur naturally, for instance due to the pressure changes imposed by a waxing and waning ice sheet. A geological...

2026:05 Thermally Induced Fracture Slip in Crystalline Rock: Experimental and Numerical Studies and Safety Implications for Geological Disposal of Nuclear Wastes
SSM perspective Background and objective High level radioactive waste, such as spent nuclear fuel, will continue to generate heat after the final disposal in an underground repository. The decay heat results in thermal expansion of the repository rock mass which can induce deformation of the fracture system. Near-field effects may involve thermally induced slip of a fracture crossing a...

2007:04 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Fourth annual report from SSI’s Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields, 2006
This year’s report includes a preamble in which the work process of the group is described. In particular the methods for evaluation of the results of studies as well as for synthesizing the scientific evidence within a research area are described. A recent childhood leukaemia study from Japan is in line with previous epidemiologic findings. The effects of RF fields on many different...

1986:12 Chernobyl - its impact on Sweden
In case of a radiological emergency in Sweden, the Swedish National Institute of Radiation Protection (SSI) has the responsibility of organ1z1ng a special task force with experts both from SSI and from other authorities. Reports of increased radiation l evels reached SSI around 10 am on April 28, 1986, and the task force convened at 1030 am. A large number of measurements were made all over...

1985:26 Light Resin Curing Devices -A Hazard Evaluation
This report has been worked out in an effort to give answers to some of the questions concerning curing devices used in the odontology. Recently such questions have frequently been submitted to the Institute of Radiation Protection and have mainly dealt with hazards from an ergophthalmologic point of view. Overexposure to visible radiation may result in thermal damages in the retina, which...
