2016:14 Radiological examinations of children: a study of method options
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, decided in 2011 to investigate the justification of the use of diagnostic computed tomography (CT) for children up to fifteen years of age. The reason is the fact that CT is the main contributor to ionising radiation to the population. During the last decade, the annual number of CT examinations increased by 200%, and during the last 16 years, by...

2003:16 Radon in Estonian dwellings. Results from a National Radon Survey
A countrywide survey of radon concentrations in Estonian dwellings was carried out during the period 1998-2001. The survey formed a part of the cooperation program on radiation protection between the Estonian Radiation Protection (Kiirguskeskus) Centre and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI). The Estonian Environmental Foundation and the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs have...

2002:16 Epidemiologic Studies of Cellular Telephones and Cancer Risk – A Review
Cellular telephones emit and receive radiofrequency (RF) signals between about 450 and 2200 MHz which fall in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. A RF wave from a cellular telephone contains billions of times less energy than an x-ray and is not capable of inducing ionizations or damaging DNA. The rapid and widespread use of this technology, however, has raised concern over...

2002:17 Review of Project SAFE: Comments on biosphere conceptual model description and risk assessment methodology
The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company’s (SKB’s) most recent assessment of the safety of the Forsmark repository for low-level and intermediatelevel waste (Project SAFE) is currently undergoing review by the Swedish regulators. As part of its review, the Swedish Radiation Protection Institute (SSI) identified that two components of SAFE require more detailed review: (i) the...

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...

1994:08 The content and environmentalimpact from the waste depositoryin Sillamae
The studies of the waste depository in Sillamae, Estonia, shows that the content as well as the wall material is typical tailings from chemical enrichment of uranium ore. The environmental impact from radioactive substances as well as heavy metals has been estimated. Results show the major radiological impact to the population in the Sillamae town is the exposure to radon and its daughter...
