2017:18 FEM analysis of the mechanical integrity for the canister intended for storage of spent nuclear fuel with regard to copper creep ductility
Background For final storage of spent nuclear fuel it is suggested by the Swedish nuclear fuel and waste management company (SKB) to emplace the nuclear fuel into copper canisters which are surrounded by bentonite clay at approximately 500 meters’ depth into granitic rock. After emplacement of the canisters Bentonite swelling due to water saturation and hydrostatic pressure build up the...

2017:02 Slow strain rate testing of copper in sulfide rich chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90 °C
Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can occur in materials from the combined influence of tensile stress and a corrosive environment. It has previously been shown in the literature, that copper can be sensitive to SCC in the presence of sulfide containing water. Since both tensile stresses are present as well as a material were SCC can occur, SCC could potentially be a problem for the...

Research activities
Research activities in the field of nuclear safety and radiation protection encompass a broad spectrum of aspects in terms of nuclear safety, radiation protection and nuclear non-proliferation. Nuclear non-proliferation activities imply preventing nuclear material and equipment for civilian purposes from being used to manufacture nuclear weapons.

European Spallation Source (ESS)
European Spallation Source (ESS) is a centre for research that is undergoing construction in Lund, Sweden, by European Spallation Source ERIC, a European consortium. The first licence application for the ESS facility was submitted to the Authority in 2012. Taking place in several steps, this review will be ongoing until the ESS facility has been completed and can begin routine operation.

Our work to enhance safety
Nuclear activities in Sweden are not allowed to contribute to international proliferation of nuclear weapons. This is why the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority exercises control over nuclear material present in Sweden and monitors exports of nuclear material and nuclear products. We also work together with the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (the IAEA) and the European Commission.

The sun and sunbeds
Many Swedes enjoy spending time in the sun and getting a suntan. However, strong sunlight has its disadvantages. Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in Sweden, and the incidence of skin cancer is quickly increasing. Root causes are deemed to be increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and use of tanning salons and sunbeds.
