• 2016:15 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risk, Eleventh report from SSM’s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2016

  Including Thirteen years of electromagnetic field research monitored by SSM’s Scientific Council on EMF and health: How has the evidence changed over time? The report has the objective of covering the previous year’s research in the area of electromagnetic fields (EMF). The report gives the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority an overview and provides an important basis for risk assessment. The...

• 2016:23 Technical Note, Modelling of the thermal evolution of the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark and associated induced seismic activity

  Main Review Phase Introduction The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) reviews the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of the KBS-3 repository for spent nuclear fuel and for an encapsulation facility. As part of the review, SSM commissions consultants to carry out work in order to obtain...

• 2016:05 Technical Note, Assessment of SKB TR-14-15 Assessment of SKB TR-14-15 “Possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on copper canisters”

  The general objective of the present project is to provide independent review comments for one area of SKB:s post closure safety analysis, SR-Site. With this in mind, the purpose of this report is to review SKB’s presentation on possible influence from stray currents from high voltage DC power transmission on a repository for nuclear fuel.

• 2016:39 Recommended residual stress profiles for stainless steel pipe welds

  Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and the Swedish nuclear power plant owners have financed Inspecta Technology in Sweden to analyze stainless steel pipe welds to obtain good estimations of weld residual stress (WRS) distributions. Detailed knowledge of the residual stress field in different types of welds is important since they can have substantial influence on...

• 2016:27 Validation of fatigue fracture mechanics approaches

  Background In a previous study (SSM research report 2015:38) fatigue experiments were performed on welded austenitic stainless steel piping components. The fatigue experiments offer an opportunity to evaluate fatigue flaw tolerance assessments used in industry, which are based on the fracture mechanical approach implemented in ProSACC. Objective The present study aims to validate the used...

• 2016:04 Uncertainty assessment of the SCANAIR V_7_5 computer program in analyses of BWR reactivity initiated accidents

  In this work, we assess uncertainties that can be expected in computational analyses of boiling water reactor reactivity initiated accidents with the SCANAIR V_7_5 computer program. The work is intended to supplement a similar uncertainty assessment, focussed on pressurized water reactor accidents, which is currently being organized as an international benchmark exercise by the OECD Nuclear...

• 2016:37 PARTRIDGE project: Review and evaluation of the probabilistic fracture mechanics code PRO-LOCA

  Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and the Swedish nuclear power plant owners have financed Inspecta Technology in Sweden to evaluate the PRO-LOCA code. It is a computer code, developed by Battelle in the USA, in which the leak- and rupture probabilities of piping in nuclear power plants are analysed. The pipe systems may contain the damage mechanisms fatigue and/or...
