2025:03 APRI-11 – Final Report
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority together with the Swedish Power companies operating nuclear power reactors in Sweden have since early 1990’s provided financial support for severe accident research at KTH and Chalmers. The research was initiated almost directly after the installation of severe accident management system and strategy, as filtered containment...

2026:06 A Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) Taxonomy for Small Modular Reactors (SMR) – Part 1 of 2: Mapping the SMR landscape
SSM perspective Background Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are typically presented as a solution for safe and reliable energy, requiring less time to construct than the traditional large reactors. The inherent safety features, higher levels of automation and increased reliance on passive safety are often held as reasons for fewer operators being needed in the daily operations and for handling...

2026:08e Food contamination from fallout following a nuclear explosion
Summary After a nuclear explosion, small particles may be dispersed as fallout over large areas and cause radioactive ground deposition. Radiation doses may be received from the fallout in several ways. One such exposure pathway is the ingestion of foodstuffs contaminated by the fallout, either directly or through agricultural production in areas with ground deposition. The Swedish Radiation...

2012:50 Fatigue Margins for Austenitic Stainless Steels in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code – A Literature Study
Knowledge about the margins against fatigue failure in nuclear piping systems is essential. Therefore, the margins in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (section III) fatigue design procedure for austenitic steels, type 304/316, as applied to real components have been investigated in this literature study. It is concluded that the current knowledge about the margins in ASME for...

2012:07 Implementation of the Master Curve method in ProSACC
Cleavage fracture toughness data display normally large amount of statistical scatter in the transition region. The cleavage toughness data in this region is specimen size-dependent, and should be treated statistically rather than deterministically. The Master Curve (MC) methodology is a procedure for mechanical testing and statistical analysis of fracture toughness of ferritic steels in the...

2012:03 The IAEA Integrated Regulatory Review Service Mission to Sweden in February 2012
The Swedish Government decided on January 22, 2009 to mandate the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, to apply for an international review of the Author-ity and its areas of supervision, an ‘IRRS’ (Integrated Regulatory Review Service) carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). On February 25, 2009, SSM made a formal request to the IAEA for an IRRS in Sweden. The time...
