• 2009:03 National Survey on Justification of CT-examinations in Sweden

  All examinations in diagnostic radiology shall be justified to avoid unnecessary irradiation of the patients. The objective of the study was to investigate the degree of justification for CT-examinations in Sweden. Referrals for all examinations performed during one day were retrospectively evaluated by a group of physicians. The study was designed and conducted by a project group lead by...

• 2009:02 Screening calculations for radioactive waste releases from non-nuclear facilities

  A series of screening calculations have been performed to assess the potential radiological consequences of discharges of radioactive substances to the environment arising from waste from non-nuclear practices. Solid waste, as well as liquids that are not poured to the sewer, are incinerated and ashes from incineration and sludge from waste water treatment plants are disposed or reused at...

• 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,...

• 2009:21 The geological history of the Baltic Sea a review of the literature and investigation tools

  The bedrock in Sweden mainly comprises Proterozoic magmatic and metamorphic rocks older than a billion or one and a half billion years with few easily distinguished testimonies for the younger history. For construction of a geological repository for deposition of nuclear waste it is important to understand the late, brittle, geological events to be able to estimate its influence and...

• 2009:33 Workshop on spent fuel performance, radionuclide chemistry and geosphere transport parameters, Lidingö 2008: Overview and evaluation of recent SKB procedures

  The safety assessment for disposal of spent nuclear fuel canister in the Swedish bedrock should thoroughly address the time period after a containment failure. Such a failure could be expected as a result of corrosion damage or mechanical failure due to rock movement. This report mainly covers some issues connected to parameters used for radionuclide transport calculations in the areas of...

• 2009:28 Biogeochemistry of Redox at Repository Depth and Implications for the Canister

  The present groundwater chemical conditions at the candidate sites for a spent nuclear fuel repository in Sweden (the Forsmark and Laxemar sites) and processes affecting its future evolution comprise essential conditions for the evaluation of barrier performance and long-term safety. This report reviews available chemical sampling information from the site investigations at the candidate...

• 2009:27 Analysis Strategy for Fracture Assessment of Defects in Ductile Materials

  SSM has supported research for investigating the role of secondary stresses when fracture assessments are performed for cracked structures made of ductile materials. There are evidences that indicate that some secondary stresses, such as weld residual stresses, are not as important as primary stresses for estimating the safety margin against rupture (measured by the J-integral) for the type...
