2002:04 Qualification of Electrical Components in Nuclear Power Plants. Management of Ageing
The work was finished and reported in Swedish in a limited publication 2000, Ingemansson Rapport H-14061-r-I. As the performed work was regarded to be of more general interest it is published again as a research report by the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate. To be used in the international cooperation in nuclear safety it was also translated into English by the inspectorate, which is this...

2001:23 Interactions of Severe Accident Researchand Regulatory Positions (ISARRP)
This project, started on April 1, 1999, had the specific objectives of determining whether; (i) the focus of the severe accidents (SA) research is consistent with that of the regulatory authorities, (ii) the results obtained so far by SA research satisfy the regulatory concerns, (iii) the future programs, envisaged will address the potential regulatory needs into next century, and (iv) how...

2020:04 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risk, Fourteenth report from SSM’s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2019
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) Scientific Council on electromagnetic Fields monitors current research on potential health risks in relation to exposure to electromagnetic fields and provides the Authority with advice on assessing possible health risks. The Council gives guidance when the Authority must give an opinion on policy matters when...

2020:08 Identifying radiologically important ESS-specific radionuclides and relevant detection methods
SSM perspective Background The European Spallation Source (ESS) facility is under construction in Lund, Sweden. High-energy protons will be accelerated in a linear accelerator and generate neutrons when hitting a rotating target of tungsten. This spallation process will also generate a wide range of different radioactive by-products of which a small part will be released to the environment...

2020:13 Core data Research at Uppsala University
SSM perspective Background This project is to support a research group at Uppsala University in the research field of nuclear data for applications. Nuclear data research is about measuring microscopic cross-sections and developing theoretical nuclear models to create evaluated nuclear data libraries. These nuclear data libraries are used in different applications such as, nuclear technology,...

2020:01 Sulphide-induced stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen absorption incopper exposed to sulphide and chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90°C
SSM perspective Background The concept that the Swedish nuclear power industry plans to utilise for the final disposal spent nuclear fuel is called KBS-3 method, which is based on three different barriers to prevent spreading of radioactive substances: copper canisters, bentonite buffers and the surrounding Swedish bedrock. In the current KBS-3 design, the spent nuclear fuel will be placed in...

2020:16 Estimates ofJ-integral and COD for circumferential through wall cracks under global bending including the effect of pipe end restraint
SSM perspective Background Leak-before-break (LBB) piping assessments have shown that piping systems can withstand long through-wall cracks before pipe rupture is expected. This is somewhat because pipe ends are restrained. In LBB assessments analyses are often performed for a pipe segment uncoupled from the piping system, as pipe ends are assumed unrestrained. This assumption is conservative...

2020:02 Models for axial gas flow and mixing in LWR fuel rods
SSM perspective Background Fission gases inside a fuel rod plays an important role in the behaviour of the fuel, both during normal operation and during events and accidents. Fission gases are released from inside the fuel pellets to the gap between the pellet and the cladding tube and then flow to the plenum volume at the top of the fuel rod. In high burnup fuel, this axial flow to the...

The international radiation protection school in Stockholm attracts participants from over 20 countries
For five days, at Stockholm University, international early and mid-career radiation protection experts gather to develop their knowledge in radiation protection. The course alternates between theory and practice and provides in-depth knowledge and understanding on the structure and application of the international system for radiation protection.

CONNECT-NM: Euratom partnership for research on nuclear materials
CONNECT-NM is a partnership within Euratom focusing on research related to nuclear materials, primarily in-core structural materials, concrete, fuel cladding and fuel. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) participates in the partnership and leads the creation and management of an advisory body of European regulators. The goal is to facilitate dialogue between regulatory authorities...
