2025:01 Safety Concept Evaluation with Failure Tolerance Analysis
SSM perspective Background One of the most important design principles to achieve high safety function dependability is the use of redundancy to be single-fault tolerant. In turn, redundancies become effective by applying additional design principles such as physical and functional separation and diversity. License holders of nuclear power reactors must demonstrate that requirements are met,...

Radiation protection for personnel
Licensees of Swedish nuclear power plants are responsible for ensuring that no one is exposed to radiation levels that cause injury. The licensees must also guarantee that all workers at the facilities are exposed to as little radiation as possible viewed over an extended period of time. This implies that the level of safety must be high enough so that no accidents occur exposing the personnel...

2015:20 Guide for thyroid monitoring in the event of release of radioactive iodine in a nuclear emergency
This report aims to serve as a guide in the execution of a thyroid monitoring program during the intermediate phase of response to a nuclear emergency. Calibration factors for some instruments verified in the framework of the Nordic project THY- ROID (Nyander P. 2014) are listed here as an example. For different times after the intake, we present in this guide the measured values in net count...

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...
