2015:20 Guide for thyroid monitoring in the event of release of radioactive iodine in a nuclear emergency
This report aims to serve as a guide in the execution of a thyroid monitoring program during the intermediate phase of response to a nuclear emergency. Calibration factors for some instruments verified in the framework of the Nordic project THY- ROID (Nyander P. 2014) are listed here as an example. For different times after the intake, we present in this guide the measured values in net count...

2015:16 International conference on UV radiation-induced disease – roles of UVA and UVB
In 2007, an international conference sponsored by the former Swedish Radiation Protection Authority and the Swedish Cancer Society and held at Karolinska Insti- tutet explored the state of knowledge concerning ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced disease and the roles of UVA and UVB. The following five years we have seen the classification of the whole solar UV spectrum by IARC as carcinogenic...

2014:16 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risk, Ninth report from SSM’s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2014
The objective of the report is to cover the previous year’s research in the area of electromagnetic fields (EMF). The report gives the Authority an overview and provides an important basis for risk assessment. The present annual report is number nine in the series and covers studies published up to and including September 2013. It covers different areas of EMF (static, low frequency...

2006:02 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Third annual report from SSIs Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields 2005
SSI:s international independent expert group for electromagnetic fields was established in 2002. In December each year a report on the scientific development in the field is delivered to the Director General of SSI. This is the third annual report. Recent studies from the REFLEX programme suggest genotoxic effects from exposure to relatively weak extremely low frequency and radio frequency...

2005:20 Expert Panel Elicitation of Seismicity Following Glaciation in Sweden
The Swedish Radiation Protection Authority, the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate and the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company have jointly carried out a project on expert panel elicitation on the issue of glacial induced Swedish earthquakes. Following a broad nomination procedure, 5 experts were chosen by a selection committee of 4 professors within Earth sciences disciplines.

2003:12 Analysis of Critical Issues in Biosphere Assessment Modelling and Site Investigation
The aim of this document is to present a critical review of issues concerned with the treatment of the biosphere and geosphere-biosphere interface in longterm performance assessment studies for nuclear waste disposal in Sweden. The review covers three main areas of investigation: a review of SKB’s plans for undertaking site investigations at candidate locations for the development of a deep...

2002:14 Review of C-14 inventory for the SFR facility
The Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI) is currently reviewing SKB’s continuing assessment for disposal of radioactive waste to the SFR facility at Forsmark. Among the wastes disposed are reactor operating wastes. Among the relevant radionuclides is C-14, which is relatively difficult to measure and to control because of its mobility. This report documents a review of the C-14...

1999:13 Determination of the Neutron and Photon Dose Equivalent at Work Places in Nuclear Facilities of Sweden
Various mixed neutron-photon fields at workplaccs in the containment of pressurised water reactors and in the vicinity of transport containers with spent fuel elements were investigated with spectrometers and dosimeters.The spectral neutron fluences evaluated from measurements with multisphere systems were recommended to be used for the calculation of dosimetric reference values for...

2019:15 3D Thermo-Mechanical Coupled Modelling of Thermo-Seismic Response of a Fractured Rock Mass related to the Final Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and Nuclear Waste in Hard Rock
SSM perspective Background When assessing the long-term safety of a repository for spent nuclear fuel it is important to consider future earthquakes. Previous studies by Yoon et al. (2014, SSM Report 2014:59) and (2016, SSM Report 2016:23) investigated the fracture responses due to heat and earthquakes at major deformation zones using a 2D thermo-mechanical coupled model that uses a Particle...
