2009:05 Survey on requirements for independent reviews and inspections of electrical and I&C equipment
This survey is a first step to support the work to develop the Swedish regulations in the area of independent review and inspection in the process supporting implementation of electrical equipment in nuclear power plants. The report consists of a summary of different regulations in the area and also an analysis of the differences between the electrical and mechanical field especially in the...

2008:29e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2007
The safety level of the plants is maintained at an acceptable level. SKI has in its regulatory supervision not found any known deficiencies in the barriers which could result in release of radioactive substances in excess of the permitted levels. SKI considers that improvements have been implemented during the year in the management, control and following up of safety work at the plants. In...

2012:33 Technical Note, Review of Groundwater Chemistry in SKB’s Safety Assessment SR-Site
This initial review examined SKB’s characterization of groundwater chemistry at the Forsmark site and its evolution during long time periods under different possible climates in the future. The review considered whether the geochemical data provided by SKB are reasonable and sufficient and whether the methods used by SKB for projecting geochemical conditions into the future are appropriate.

2012:37 Technical Note, Selective review of the hydrogeological aspects of SR-Site
This review of the hydrogeology is selective. It focuses on the measurement, interpretation and modelling of the potential repository host rock, that is the rock domain FFM01<-400m. It accepts as reasonably accurate the measurement and representation of the more transmissive parts of the hydrogeological system, particularly the near-surface 150m in the form presented by SKB. SKB have decided...

2016:04 Uncertainty assessment of the SCANAIR V_7_5 computer program in analyses of BWR reactivity initiated accidents
In this work, we assess uncertainties that can be expected in computational analyses of boiling water reactor reactivity initiated accidents with the SCANAIR V_7_5 computer program. The work is intended to supplement a similar uncertainty assessment, focussed on pressurized water reactor accidents, which is currently being organized as an international benchmark exercise by the OECD Nuclear...

2016:31 Measures and method characteristics for early evaluation of safe operation in nuclear power plant control room systems
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) experience is that there is a need to develop evaluation methods in parallel with the development of control rooms in conjunction with construction modifications and other changes. This includes more indepth analysis of the methods used today. Another aspect is that conventional methods of evaluating control rooms and issues need to be...

2016:28 Fatigue fracture surface characterization and investigation
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 examine the obtained fatigue cracks with an optical microscope. Objective The present study performs a fractographical examination of the obtained fatigue cracks with the aim of determine where...

2016:26 Ensemble for deterministic sampling with positive weights
The aim of this project is to find a reliable method for determining an ensemble for Deterministic Sampling with only positive weights. This report is intended to work as a presentation of the project, as well as to work as a beginner’s guide to DS. In the report several methods for generating DS ensembles are presented, which can encode up to four moments and represent any kind of...
