2025:04 Recent Research on electromagnetic fields and Health Risk, nineteenth report from SSM’s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2024
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields monitors current research on potential health risks in relation to exposure to electromagnetic fields and provides the authority with advice on assessing possible health risks. The Council gives guidance when the authority must give an opinion on policy matters when...

2026:04 3D Discrete Element Modelling of Fluid Injection Induced Fault Slip in Argillaceous Rock – Mt.Terri Fault Slip Experiment
SSM perspective Background and objective It is a well-known phenomenon that artificial increased in pore pressure at depth, due to subsurface fluid injection, can trigger earthquakes (Walsh and Zoback 2015, and references therein). Increased pore pressures at depth can also occur naturally, for instance due to the pressure changes imposed by a waxing and waning ice sheet. A geological...

2026:05 Thermally Induced Fracture Slip in Crystalline Rock: Experimental and Numerical Studies and Safety Implications for Geological Disposal of Nuclear Wastes
SSM perspective Background and objective High level radioactive waste, such as spent nuclear fuel, will continue to generate heat after the final disposal in an underground repository. The decay heat results in thermal expansion of the repository rock mass which can induce deformation of the fracture system. Near-field effects may involve thermally induced slip of a fracture crossing a...

2007:07 Inquiry into the radiological consequences of power uprates at light-water rectors worldwide
In Sweden, most of the nuclear power plants are planning power uprates within the next few years. The Department of Occupational and Medical Exposures at the Swedish Radiation Protection Agency, SSI, has initiated a research project to investigate the radiological implications of power uprates on light-water reactors throughout the world. The project was divided into three tasks: A compilation...

2007:04 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Fourth annual report from SSI’s Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields, 2006
This year’s report includes a preamble in which the work process of the group is described. In particular the methods for evaluation of the results of studies as well as for synthesizing the scientific evidence within a research area are described. A recent childhood leukaemia study from Japan is in line with previous epidemiologic findings. The effects of RF fields on many different...

2005:13 (SKI 2005:40) Review of SKB's interim report of SR-Can: SKI's and SSI's evaluation of SKB's updated methodology for safety assessment.
This report presents the fi ndings of a review of the Swedish NuclearFuel and Waste Management Co.’s (SKB) interimreport of the safety assessment SR-Can (SKB TR 04-11), conducted by the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI) and the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI). SKB’s interim report describes and exemplifi es the safety assessment methodology that SKB plans to use in the...

2005:09 Twelve years of cooperation in the field of radiation protection
SSI has pursued an international cooperation program since 1992 within the fi eld of radiation protection and emergency preparedness for radiation accidents with the three Baltic countries as main benefi ciaries. As the Baltic countries are members of the EU since fi rst of May 2004, this bilateral support will now be phased out and replaced with other forms of cooperation. During the years...

2005:04 (SKI 2005:10) Concentrations of Uranium,Thorium and Potassium in Sweden
This report is largely a result of the Swed-ish contribution to an IAEA co-ordinated research programme (CRP) on the use of selected safety indicators in the assessment of radioactive waste disposal. The CRP was focusing on the assessment of the longterm safety of radioactive waste disposal by means of additional safety indicators based on data from natural systems with emphasis on description...

2004:02 Strengthening the Radiation Protection System in Cuba (SRPS – Cuba)
This project results from the co-operation between a number of Cuban and Swedish institutions. It started in February 2001 and ended in June 2003 and was made possible thanks to the contributions of the Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency (SIDA), the Centro de Protección e Higiene de las Radiaciones, Cuba (CPHR), and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI). The...
