2009:17 Effect of Welding Residual Stresses on Crack Opening Displacement and Crack-Tip Parameters
Weld residual stresses have a large influence on the behavior of cracks growing under normal operation loads and on the leakage-flow from a through-wall crack. Accurate prediction of these events is important in order to arrive at proper conclusions when assessing detected flaws, for inspection planning and for assessment of leak-before-break margins. The fracture mechanical treatment of weld...

2009:16 Influence of Hardening Model on Weld Residual Stress Distribution
Weld residual stresses have a large influence on the behavior of cracks growing under normal operation loads and on the leakage-flow from a through-wall crack. Accurate prediction of these events is important in order to arrive at proper conclusions when assessing detected flaws, for inspection planning and for assessment of leak-before-break margins. Therefore, it is very important to have...

2009:12 Evaluating safety-critical organizations – emphasis on the nuclear industry
The regulator identified a few years ago a need for a better understanding of and a deeper knowledge on methods for evaluating safety critical organisations. There is a need for solid assessment methods in the process of management of organisational changes as well as in continuously performed assessment of organisations such as nuclear power plants. A considerable body of literature exists...

2009:36 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Sixth annual report from SSM:s independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields 2009
A large number of cell studies are done on both genotoxic and non-genotoxic outcomes, such as apoptosis gene expression. There are no new positive findings from cellular studies that have been well established in terms of experimental quality and replication. Potential heating of the samples is still seen as a major source of artefacts. Moreover, these few positive results are not related to...

2009:03 National Survey on Justification of CT-examinations in Sweden
All examinations in diagnostic radiology shall be justified to avoid unnecessary irradiation of the patients. The objective of the study was to investigate the degree of justification for CT-examinations in Sweden. Referrals for all examinations performed during one day were retrospectively evaluated by a group of physicians. The study was designed and conducted by a project group lead by...
