2010:35 Probabilistic Safety Goals for Nuclear Power Plants; Phases 2-4 / Final Report
Safety goals are defined in different ways in different countries and also used differently. Many countries are presently developing them in connection to the transfer to risk-informed regulation of both operating nuclear power plants (NPP) and new designs. However, it is far from self-evident how probabilistic safety criteria should be defined and used. On one hand, experience indicates that...

2009:15 Improvement and Validation of Weld Residual Stress Modelling Procedure
Weld residual stresses have a large influence on the behavior of cracks growing under normal operation loads and on the leakage-flow from a through-wall crack. Accurate prediction of these events is important in order to arrive at proper conclusions when assessing detected flaws, for inspection planning and for assessment of leak-before-break margins. Therefore, it is very important to have...

2013:27 Numerical simulations of headed anchors break in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete structures
The design codes for anchorage of equipment in concrete structures have been developed since the time the Swedish power plants were designed. Furthermore, the design basis has been updated and in some cases new mechanical loads have been added. As a consequence, it can be difficult for some anchorages to meet the requirements of today. In the design of anchorage equipment the beneficial effect...

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...

2012:07 Implementation of the Master Curve method in ProSACC
Cleavage fracture toughness data display normally large amount of statistical scatter in the transition region. The cleavage toughness data in this region is specimen size-dependent, and should be treated statistically rather than deterministically. The Master Curve (MC) methodology is a procedure for mechanical testing and statistical analysis of fracture toughness of ferritic steels in the...

2007:04 Link Between RI-ISI and Inspection Qualification: Relationship between Defect Detection Rate and Margin of Detection
A relationship has been established between defect detection ratio and margin of detection based on blind trails. The results are based on a rather small amount of data produced by personnel from one inspection laboratory but give us indications of how signal to noise ratio is possible to relate to the probability of detection (POD) used in RI-ISI models. The relationship need to be developed...

2021:02 On Water Induced Sensitization of Ni (Fe,Cr) alloys towards Stress Corrosion Cracking in LWR Piping from 1st Principles Modelling
SSM perspective Background In Swedish Light Water Reactors (LWR), stress corrosion cracking of reactor components and welds occurs from time to time. As the nuclear power plants are ageing, it is essential to study and further understand the mechanism for environmentally induced sensitization. Natural cracking is a phenomenon that is difficult to predict and very hard to study since it occurs...
