2014:21 Effects of additives on uranium dioxide fuel behavior
This report will form a basis for the reviews that SSM does when the license holders applies for use of nuclear fuel with additives. The report is also intended as a reference to the models that Quantum Technologies AB has developed. The report and the models will be a valuable source of information for SSM and other parties when discussing the performance of doped fuel. Ali Massih SSM...

2018:25 UO2 fuel oxidation and fission gas release
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) follows the research on fuel performance closely. One aspect that has been the main question of several research projects is the fragmentation of fuel pellets during abnormal heat up. In this project the oxidation of UO2 is scrutinized and its effect on pellet fragmentation, fission gas release and damage of fuel rods has been...

2011:05 Overview and Evaluation of the NESC Projects for Fracture Assessments of Nuclear Components
The Network for Evaluation of Structural Components (NESC) was started in 1993 and since then six different projects have been carried out. A seventh NESC-project is still in progress. The overall objective of these projects has been to study the reliability of the entire process of structural integrity assessment within an international framework. The network is coordinated by the European...

2016:14 Radiological examinations of children: a study of method options
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, decided in 2011 to investigate the justification of the use of diagnostic computed tomography (CT) for children up to fifteen years of age. The reason is the fact that CT is the main contributor to ionising radiation to the population. During the last decade, the annual number of CT examinations increased by 200%, and during the last 16 years, by...

2008:05 International Expert Review of SR-Can: Safety Assessment Methodology - External review contribution in support of SSI's and SKI's review of SR-Can
In 2006, SKB published a safety assessment (SR-Can) as part of its work to support a licence application for the construction of a final repository for spent nuclear fuel. The report represented the culmination of work conducted by SKB over several years, focusing on the goal of making the licence application in late 2009. Results from the SR-Can project have been documented in several...
