2011:34 Evolution of hydrogen by copper in ultrapure water without dissolved oxygen
One result from this research was that the experimental difficulties of repeating Hultqvist and co-workers work are considerable and were initially underestimated. The main challenge was to obtain satisfactory tightness of all connectors involved in the experimental set-up. The problems with leakage resulted in that the research program originally planned for in this project had to be reduced...

2011:31 Allocation of Decommissioning and Waste Liabilities
A crucial task for the present generations is to ensure that environmental liabilities are identified sufficiently well so that it may be possible to accumulate the corresponding necessary financial assets in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. Adequate funding will provide forthcoming generation’s with the financial means to decommission and dismantle older nuclear facilities that are part of...

2011:21 Workshop on spent fuel performance and radionuclide chemistry -Rånäs 2010: Assessment of some outstanding issues
The safety assessment for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel has to comprehensively address the stage when containment barriers have failed and when radionuclide releases occur to the surrounding groundwater at repository depth. Essential processes for estimating risk/dose related to this scenario involve the release of radionuclide from the spent fuel surfaces due to radio-lytic oxidative...

2014:20 An evaluation of high-temperature creep of zirconium alloys: data versus models
In this report Dr Massih presents correlations for creep in different phases of zirconium alloys and also presents a general solution to the difficulty of accurately describing the material properties in phase transition for several zirconium alloys. Based upon superplasticity relations, models are adapted to fit with experimental data for materials in transition regions. The creep models are...

2023:11 Study of degradation of spent fuel’s structural material and core components under long-term wet storage
SSM perspective Background Sweden is managing the spent nuclear fuel and core components from its commercial nuclear reactors with a national strategic plan. The fuel and core components are initially stored at the reactor site. After an on-site storage period to comply with transportation limits on decay heat and radiation, these materials are shipped to the Clab (Central Interim Storage...

2023:14 Effect of gamma-irradiation on the redox states of the structural iron in bentonite clay
SSM perspective Background Bentonite clay is used as buffer and backfill material which form engineered barrier in the spent fuel repository. The buffer material surrounding the copper canister will be exposed to gamma and neutron radiations, especially during the first few hundred years after closure of the repository. The redox states of the structural iron in montmorillonite, the dominant...

The international radiation protection school in Stockholm attracts participants from over 20 countries
For five days, at Stockholm University, international early and mid-career radiation protection experts gather to develop their knowledge in radiation protection. The course alternates between theory and practice and provides in-depth knowledge and understanding on the structure and application of the international system for radiation protection.

2012:56 Technical Note, Biosphere Dose Assessment: Review of Dose Consequence of Radionuclides in the Uranium-238 Series Decay Chain
As part of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) initial phase review of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) SR-Site safety assessment for a spent nuclear fuel repository in Sweden, this technical note documents Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRAÒ) review of potential effects on SKB dose calculations from radioactive elements associated with...
