2016:22 Clinical radiotherapy research activities in Sweden
In 2009, the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten, SSM) appointed a scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology. The council consists of scientific experts in the fields of oncology, radiobiology and medical physics. Their task is to annually review and evaluate scientific developments in radiotherapy and to give SSM advice in issues where a...

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...

2021:14 Reliability, Feasibility and Significance of Measurements of Conductivity and Transmissivity of the Rock Mass for the Understanding of the Evolution of a Repository of Radioactive Waste
SSM perspective Background The conducted research was part of the international research project DECOVALEX 2019 (DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments). DECOVALEX 2019 consisted of seven different research projects called Task A to G. SSM were involved in Task G, which were composed of three different teams from Technical University of Liberec (TUL), Seoul...

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.

2022:03 Effect of Neutron Irradiation on the Oxidation and Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steels
SSM perspective Background Reactor pressure vessel internal components of austenitic stainless steel located close to the core are subject to a high neutron flux. Irradiation by fast neutrons induces changes in the material that affect microstructure, mechanical properties and microchemistry. These changes eventually lead to an increased susceptibility to irradiation assisted stress corrosion...

2017:09 Evaluation of the Swedish participation in the Nordic Nuclear Safety Research (NKS) collaboration
Background NKS is a Nordic collaboration promoting cooperation on nuclear safety and emergency preparedness research. The research program is primarily funded by Nordic radiation safety authorities and responsible ministries. The main purpose of NKS is to finance joint Nordic activities and initiatives, including seminars and workshops, technical reports, exercises and scientific articles.

2017:05 Robust structural verification of pressurized nuclear components subjected to ratcheting, part two – stress-strain curves for cyclic elastoplastic analysis.
Background Pressurized components in nuclear applications that are subjected to cyclic loading may exhibit progressive deformation, so called structural ratcheting. If the component is made out of a material that are deformation hardening, it may also exhibit material ratcheting. The combined effects of structural- and material ratcheting are not taken into account in the methods and material...

2017:22 Effect of weld repairs on residual stresses in nickel base dissimilar metal welds
Background The driving force for crack growth near welds in nuclear application piping may arise from weld residual stresses. Experience from nondestructive examination show that cracks in dissimilar metal welds are often found near weld repairs. The repair welding may affect the residual stresses through e.g. increased tensile stresses and increased plastic straining on the surfaces of the...
