1993:11 Methods for determination of strontium -90 in food and environmental samples by Cerenkov counting
The procedure for determination of strontuim-90 (=yttrium-90) by HDEHPextraction of yttrium-90 and counting the Cerenkov radiation in a liquid scintillation counter, is applicable for all kind of samples. Prior to analyses liquid samples are evaporated to dryness and ashed. Environmental and food samples are oven dried and ashed. The ash is dissolved in 1 molar hydrochloric acid and, at pH...

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.

2024:02 Earthquake stationarity and distributed fault displacements, Forsmark repository site
SSM perspective Background and objective Large earthquakes occur predominantly along plate boundaries. Due to this, much of the research have been directed towards this tectonic setting. Also, the general lack of seismicity data in stable continental interiors, such as the Baltic Shield, have impeded estimations, as well as the understanding, of the seismic hazard in these tectonic settings.
