Transport
Radioactive materials are used in fields such as healthcare, research, nuclear power and other industries and must be transported safely. The transport of radioactive materials within Sweden's borders, as well as the import and export of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel to and from Sweden, are important aspects of their management. The requirements for these transports depend on...

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.

2017:22 Effect of weld repairs on residual stresses in nickel base dissimilar metal welds
Background The driving force for crack growth near welds in nuclear application piping may arise from weld residual stresses. Experience from nondestructive examination show that cracks in dissimilar metal welds are often found near weld repairs. The repair welding may affect the residual stresses through e.g. increased tensile stresses and increased plastic straining on the surfaces of the...

2017:05 Robust structural verification of pressurized nuclear components subjected to ratcheting, part two – stress-strain curves for cyclic elastoplastic analysis.
Background Pressurized components in nuclear applications that are subjected to cyclic loading may exhibit progressive deformation, so called structural ratcheting. If the component is made out of a material that are deformation hardening, it may also exhibit material ratcheting. The combined effects of structural- and material ratcheting are not taken into account in the methods and material...
