2009:31 A Review of the Decommissioning Costs of the Ranstad Site
The main objective of this study has been to review the future cost to decommission and dismantling the industrial area at the site of the old uranium mine at Ranstad in Sweden. Analyses of some detailed comparative empirical information have been used in the context of preliminary “bench-marking” studies. The estimated costs for decommissioning of the old uranium mine in Ranstad have been...

2018:24 Structural equation modelling for analysis of human and organizational factors in nuclear power plant control rooms
SSM perspective Background During the supervisory work of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM), a need was identified to develop the methods used when evaluating control room work in the central control rooms of nuclear power plants. Benchmarking is commonly used today, with reference values from earlier Integrated System Validation (ISV), when ISV is available. Often, ISV performs...

2018:18 Procedure for Safety Assessment of Components with Defects
Background SSM and the Swedish nuclear power plant owners have financed Kiwa Inspecta Technology in Sweden to develop a new version of the handbook for assessment of defects. This represents a major update of the former fracture mechanics handbook that was published at SSM as Research 2008:01. The procedure in the handbook is based on the British R6-method where the failure mechanisms...

2019:15 3D Thermo-Mechanical Coupled Modelling of Thermo-Seismic Response of a Fractured Rock Mass related to the Final Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and Nuclear Waste in Hard Rock
SSM perspective Background When assessing the long-term safety of a repository for spent nuclear fuel it is important to consider future earthquakes. Previous studies by Yoon et al. (2014, SSM Report 2014:59) and (2016, SSM Report 2016:23) investigated the fracture responses due to heat and earthquakes at major deformation zones using a 2D thermo-mechanical coupled model that uses a Particle...

2006:15e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2005
The safety philosophy upon which the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) supervisory and regulatory activities are based assume that multiple physical barriers will exist and that a plant-specific defence-in-depth system will be implemented at each plant and that the licensee bears the undivided responsibility for safety. The physical barriers are situated between the radioactive...

2005:32e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2004
The safety philosophy upon which the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) supervisory and regulatory activities are based assume that multiple physical barriers will exist and that a plant-specific defence-in-depth approach will be implemented at each plant. The physical barriers are situated between the radioactive material and the plant personnel and surroundings. In the case of...

2005:61 Review and Assessment of SCC Experiments with RPV Steels in Oskarshamn 2 and 3 (ABB Report SBR 99-020)
Although the extent of cracking was rather surprising for a bolt-loaded specimen, the average stress corrosion crack growth rate of 0.5 mm/year over the five-year testing period does not represent an immediate concern. The overwhelming part of crack growth can have occurred during a 20 day chloride transient during the third year of exposure because of a condenser leakage after an outage. The...

2004:16e Statement of the Situation Concerning Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Plants in 2003
The safety philosophy upon which the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) supervisory and regulatory activities are based assumes that multiple physical barriers will exist and that a plant-specific defence-in-depth system will be implemented at each plant. The physical barriers are situated between the radioactive material and the plant personnel and surroundings. In the case of...
