• 2021:10 Establishment and use of attention values in environmental fatigue assessments

  SSM perspective Background As Swedish NPPs reach their original technical design life, re-assessment of the fatigue life of structural components is needed for safe long term operation (LTO). In these re-assessments one must consider that new knowledge has shown that environmental effects on fatigue life must be considered. One common method to verify the fatigue life of structural components...

• 2021:21 Region-specific radioecological evaluation of accidental releases of radionuclides from ESS

  SSM perspective Background To strengthen the material science research in Europe, the European Spallation Source (ESS) is being built in Lund in the southern part of Sweden. In the spallation process, neutrons are generated when the accelerated protons hit the tungsten target. In addition, a broad range of radioactive by-products are produced that differs from the fission products produced in...

• 2021:19 Importance Sampling Time-Domain Random Walk (ISTIDRAW) Version 1.0 User Guide A Code for Radionuclide Transport in Pathway Networks

  SSM perspective Background To support regulatory review of post-closure safety assessments of geological disposal systems it is of importance to possess regulatory independent modelling capacity. Typically, SSM’s independent modelling includes performing simple scoping calculations, utilizing the implementer’s own models with other equation solvers, or defining alternative conceptual models.
