• 2010:38 The feasibility of Backfilling a Repository of Spent Fuel: An Assessment of Recent Developments by SKB

  In the Review Statement and Evaluation of SKB’s RD & D programme 2007 (SKI Report 2008:48E), the former Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) commented that considerable work remained to be done for knowledge of both practical management issues on backfilling and analysis of long-term backfill evolution to reach the same level as for the canister and the buffer. SKI considered that the...

• 2010:34 The understanding of the formation of valleys and its implication on site characterization: Moredalen and Pukedalen, south-eastern Sweden

  This report concerns a study which was initially conducted for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI), which is now merged into the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM). The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SSM. In south-eastern Sweden, there are a number of over-deepened narrow valleys,...

• 2010:42 Using the EPRI Risk-Informed ISI Methodology on Piping Systems in Forsmark 3

  In the SSM regulation SSMFS 2008:13, it is stated that the selection of locations for inspection of mechanical components shall be based upon the risk for core damage or the risk of release of radioactive substances. Both qualitative and quantitative measures of the relative risk are allowed to be used. So far only the PWRs in Sweden are using a quantitative procedure to evaluate the risk...

• 2010:16 Guidance to Risk-Informed Evaluation of Technical Specifications using PSA

  No guidance documents for risk-informed analysis and assessment of changes in Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO:s) in TS (Technical Specifications) have been available in the Nordic countries. In the U.S. several guidance documents, primarily developed by the owners groups for PWRs and BWRs, exist. Guidance for analysis of TS changes in this report generally follows the U.S. Regulatory...

• 2010:21 Childhood leukaemia around nuclear facilities

  The first indication of a possible relationship between living close to a nuclear installation and the risk of childhood leukaemia came from the United Kingdom in 1983. A cluster of childhood leukaemia in the town of Seascale which is located close to Sellafield was reported in a TV documen-tary. Since then almost 200 studies have been carried out in order to investi-gate the occurrence of...
