2010:22 Research and Development Program in Reactor Diagnostics and Monitoring with Neutron Noise Methods, Stage 16
This report constitutes Stage 16 of a long-term research and development program concerning the development of diagnostics and monitoring methods for nuclear reactors. Results up to Stage 15 were reported in SKI and SSM reports, as listed below and in the Summary. The results have also been published in international journals and have been included in both licentiate- and doctor’s degrees.

2010:45 Evaluation of models for cyclic plastic deformation – A literature study
Analysis of nuclear components subjected to cyclic plastic deformation is normally based on the American standard ASME III. With the focus to improve the modeling of the stress-strain response under non-monotonic loading, several models for the analysis of cyclic plastic deformation have been developed in recent years. However, experience shows that the analysis and evaluation of plastic...

2009:12 Evaluating safety-critical organizations – emphasis on the nuclear industry
The regulator identified a few years ago a need for a better understanding of and a deeper knowledge on methods for evaluating safety critical organisations. There is a need for solid assessment methods in the process of management of organisational changes as well as in continuously performed assessment of organisations such as nuclear power plants. A considerable body of literature exists...

2007:23 On Safety Management, A Frame of Reference for Studies of Safety Management with Examples From Non-Nuclear Contexts of Relevance for Nuclear Safety
The authors present the theoretical framework. There they also discuss the pros of using the system perspective to build a useful frame of reference of safety management using non- nuclear organizations; this as a way to create models useful for the nuclear power industry but based on general understanding of the concept of safety management. The chosen organizations are used extensively to...

2007:22 Safety Management An Introduction to a Frame of Reference Exemplified with Case Studies from Non-Nuclear Contexts
A systems perspective has been applied on safety management that will be the foundation for the frame of reference the authors intend to build during the three-year long project. The case studies are presented and form illustrations of both high quality safety management and weaknesses of the safety management and take a look at information feedback about the risks of the systems. An...

2016:29 Evaluation of the Swedish participation in the Halden Reactor Project 2006–2014
This is a report on the evaluation of the Swedish participation in the Halden Reactor Project 2006-2014. The study has consisted in evaluating the types and extent of added value from the Swedish participation in the Halden Reactor Project, and to determine what additional added value the participation could supply for the Swedish authority. It can be concluded from the study that the impacts...

2016:39 Recommended residual stress profiles for stainless steel pipe welds
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and the Swedish nuclear power plant owners have financed Inspecta Technology in Sweden to analyze stainless steel pipe welds to obtain good estimations of weld residual stress (WRS) distributions. Detailed knowledge of the residual stress field in different types of welds is important since they can have substantial influence on...

2016:27 Validation of fatigue fracture mechanics approaches
Background In a previous study (SSM research report 2015:38) fatigue experiments were performed on welded austenitic stainless steel piping components. The fatigue experiments offer an opportunity to evaluate fatigue flaw tolerance assessments used in industry, which are based on the fracture mechanical approach implemented in ProSACC. Objective The present study aims to validate the used...

2015:11 Investigation of the Distribution of Phosphorus in Copper
Two copper alloys containing different amounts of phosphorus, 6 and 80 wtppm, respectively, have been investigated. The matrix of both alloys was analysed using atom probe tomography (APT). The matrix P concentration in the 80 wtppm P mate- rial was about the same as the bulk concentration and it was therefore concluded that the majority of the P atoms resides in the matrix. Grain boundaries...
