2009:28 Biogeochemistry of Redox at Repository Depth and Implications for the Canister
The present groundwater chemical conditions at the candidate sites for a spent nuclear fuel repository in Sweden (the Forsmark and Laxemar sites) and processes affecting its future evolution comprise essential conditions for the evaluation of barrier performance and long-term safety. This report reviews available chemical sampling information from the site investigations at the candidate...

2007:03 Variability and Uncertainties of Key Hydrochemical Parameters for SKB Sites
An important part of the site investigations conducted by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) is the characterisation of groundwater chemical conditions in the deep bedrock environment where a final repository for spent nuclear fuel is planned to be located. This work is currently in its final stages at the two candidate sites, Forsmark and Laxemar, and should be...

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...

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...

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...

1990:18 Some Estimates of the Total NuclideInventory in the Year 2100 from Swedish Nuclear Power Production
The total nuclide inventory in spent fuel from the swedish nuclear power programme has been estimated for three cases. All reactors were arrumed to operate until the year 2010 and then shut down simultaneously. All fuel used was assumed to be based on enriched natural uranium. The reactors were assumed to shut down after 25 years of commercial operation, but not later than in the year 2010.

2011:20 A Guidebook for Evaluating Organizations in the Nuclear Industry – an example of safety culture evaluation
Organizations in the nuclear industry need to maintain an overview on their vulnerabilities and strengths with respect to safety. Systematic periodical self- assessments are necessary to achieve this overview. This guidebook provides suggestions and examples to assist power companies but also external evaluators and regulators in carrying out organizational evaluations. Organizational...

2011:06 Reliability Data Handbook for Piping Components in Nordic Nuclear Power Plants – R Book, Phase 2
The Nordic PSA Group (NPSAG) has undertaken to develop a piping reliability parameter handbook for use in risk-informed applications that involve the consideration of structural integrity of piping systems. The scope of the handbook is to establish high quality reliability parameters that account for the Nordic and worldwide service experience with safety-related and non-safety-related piping...
