2008:38 Methodology for description and evaluation of cost profiles and cost structure during transitions period
A demanding task for our generation is to assure the appropriate financial resources are invested in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. This will enable future generations to execute the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear power reactors and other nuclear facilities in a prudent manner. The main aim is to fulfil the demands of environmental and health codes in a pan-European context...

2009:13e 2009 assessment of radiation safety in the Swedish nuclear power plants
This report has been prepared by order of the Swedish government in accordance with the “Governmental directive for the financial year 2009 regarding the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority”. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority has through its supervision ensured a comprehensive basis for this overall assessment of radiation safety. The overall conclusion is that the radiation safety,...

2009:07 Dependency Analysis Guidance Nordic/German Working Group on Common Cause Failure analysis
The Regulatory Code SSMFS 2008:1 of Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) includes requirements regarding the performance of probabilistic safety assessments (PSA), as well as PSA activities in general. Therefore, the follow-up of these activities is part of the inspection tasks of SSM. According to the SSMFS 2008:1, the safety analyses shall be based on a systematic identification and...

2008:50 Study on Developments in Accident Investigation Methods: A Survey of the “State-of-the-Art”
The objective of this project was to survey the main accident investigation methods that have been developed since the early or mid-1990s. The motivation was the increasing frequency of accidents that defy explanations in simple terms, for instance cause-effect chains or “human error”. Whereas the complexity of socio-technical systems is steadily growing across all industrial domains,...

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...

2009:30 A Review of Evidence for Corrosion of Copper by water
The planned spent nuclear fuel repository in Sweden relies on a copper cast iron canister as the primary engineered barrier. The corrosion behaviour of copper in the expected environment needs to be thoroughly understood as a basis for the post-closure safety analysis. It has been shown that corrosion may indeed be the primary canister degradation process during the utilised assessment period...

2009:22 Alternative modelling of brittle structures in a sub-area of the SKB candidate area at Forsmark, eastern Sweden
A reasonable understanding of the character of the bedrock hosting a deep geological repository, i.e. the natural barrier, is an important component in the safety assessment of the deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel. The structures in the rock, together with the regional stress field, affect the mechanical stability of the bedrock and the ground water transport within the...

2008:48E Review Statement and Evaluation of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co´s (SKB) RD&D Programme 2007
The review of the RD&D Programmes (Research, Development, Demonstration) prepared by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) is a recurrent task that the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) must carry out as a regulatory authority with the support of reviewing bodies of which the most important is the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI). The review statement for...
