• Man-Technology-Organisation

  No technical safety systems can work without the close involvement of people and the surrounding organisation. This is why our regulatory supervision is based on how people work and the fact that quality and safety hinge on people, the specific context and organisation, alongside the technology itself. We always have this perspective when we review all aspects of nuclear power plant...

• Discharges

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority sets constraints for discharges of radioactive substances and checks that the operator stays well below these constraints. We also require the nuclear facilities to make use of best available techniques for gradual reduction of discharges.

• Nuclear facilities in operation in Sweden

  At the present time, there are three nuclear power plants in operation in Sweden. These are the plants of Forsmark, Oskarshamn and Ringhals.

• 2017:20 Assessment of inertia effects on transient clad-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents

  In this report, simple hydrodynamic models are used for studying the effects of coolant inertia on fuel-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents in light water reactors. The objective is to assess if the inertia effects are important enough to warrant modification of QT-COOL, a coolant channel module for two-phase flow that has recently been implemented as...

• 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...

• 2015:25 Design Guide for Nuclear Civil Structures (DNB)

  The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and the Swedish licensees have previously in a jointly funded research project developed a design guide for civil structures at Swedish nuclear facilities to be based on Eurocodes, DNB. The report was published in January 2014 as SSM Report 2014:06. To further improve DNB and to ensure that the fundamentals of the recommendations will be applied...

• 2012:49 Hydrogeological characteristics of sites for low- and intermediate-level waste disposal

  The Forsmark area with its selected two sites and the Laxemar-Simpevarp area with its two sites are broadly similar in terms of lithology, rock ages, and tectonic histories. The two areas differ in terms of degree of deformation, and tectonic fabric. Some lithologic and tectonic differences are noticeable between the two sites in the Forsmark area and between the two sites in the...

• 2017:11 Extended Common Load Model: A tool for dependent failure modelling in highly redundant structures

  Background The treatment of dependent failures is one of the most controversial subjects in reliability and risk analyses. The difficulties are specially underlined in the case of highly redundant systems, when the number of redundant components or trains exceeds four. The Common Load Model (CLM), originally defined in the 70’ies, differs from other CCF models, as it relies on a specific...
