2018:23 Evaluation of the Impact of the Model Additional Protocol on Non-Nuclear-Weapon States with Comprehensive Safeguards Agreements
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) called for research proposals related to Non-Proliferation. This call resulted in SSM accepting a proposal from the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP) to evaluate the impact of the implementation of Additional Protocols (AP). The Additional Protocol, which was approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency's...

2017:13 Monte Carlo patient-specific pre-treatment QA system for volumetric modulated arc therapy
Background The clinical use of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has augmented rapidly since it became commercially available. As a result, the need for comprehensive quality assurance (QA) has increased. Current practices in Sweden normally compare the delivered dose with the planned dose based on measurements with different methods, for instance: portal dosimetry, point dose...

2015:37 Models for axial relocation of fragmented and pulverized fuel pellets in distending fuel rods and its effects on fuel rod heat load
Haverifall med kylmedelsförlust (LOCA) i lättvattenreaktorer kan leda till överhettning av bränslestavar, utvidgning av stavarnas kapslingsrör, samt axiell omflyttning av bränslekutsfragment i de delar av stavarna som expanderat. Bränsleomflyttningen kan koncentrera värmebelastningen till en begränsad del av stavarna och därigenom öka risken...

2015:25 Design Guide for Nuclear Civil Structures (DNB)
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and the Swedish licensees have previously in a jointly funded research project developed a design guide for civil structures at Swedish nuclear facilities to be based on Eurocodes, DNB. The report was published in January 2014 as SSM Report 2014:06. To further improve DNB and to ensure that the fundamentals of the recommendations will be applied...

2013:28 Brine intrusion by upconing for a high-level nuclear waste repository at Forsmark. Scoping calculations
SSM currently reviews a license application for a spent nuclear fuel repository that is proposed to be located at Forsmark, Sweden. The repository is to be situated at 500 m depth in the rock and copper canisters are deposited in holes excavated from the tunnel system. To protect the canisters they are surrounded by a bentonite clay buffer, which is to swell when getting in contact with...
