2015:19 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risk - Tenth report from SSM’s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2015
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 Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) scientific council monitors the current research situation and provides the Authority with advice on the assessment of risks,...

2014:26 Improved reference and relative dosimetry of small radiation therapy photon beams
Data tables on detector corrections for beam output measurements are provided for a large number of detectors (small air and liquid ionization chambers, silicon diodes, TLD and alanine) manufactured by major vendors, for 6 MV photons from clinical accelerators and for two Leksell Gamma Knife® models. They have been calculated with the PENELOPE Monte Carlo system at an uncertainty of 0.1%.

1996:08 Contamination and Radiation Exposure, Evaluation and Measures in the Nordic Countries after the Chernobyl Accident
In the night 25/26 April1986 it all started. The radioactive releases from Chernobyl reached the Nordic countries late 27 April. At noon the following day all the world knew that an accident had occurred - two and a half days after it started. In April.l986 there was, generally speaking, quite a high level of preparedness for nuclear accidents in the Nordic countries but still, as it was...

1995:15 Determination of the Neutron and Photon Dose Equivalent at Work Places in Nuclear Facilities of Sweden
The radiation fields in nuclear power plants consist of a mixture of photons and neutrons of various energies. A detector is usually constructed to respond to one type of radiation only and is usually useful in a limited energy range . .This is especially so for neutrons. Accurate descriptions of the radiation envirorunent are therefore very complicated to obtain. During the last decade great...

2001:21 Work in Support of Biosphere Assessments for Solid Radioactive Waste Disposal. 1. Performance Assessments, Requirements and Methodology; Criteria for Radiological Environmental Protection
The first part of this report is intended to assess how the recent Swedish regulatory developments and resulting criteria impose requirements on what should be included in a performance assessment (PA) for the SFR low and medium level waste repository and for a potential deep repository for high level waste. The second part of the report has been prepared by QuantiSci as an input to the...
