2002:04 Qualification of Electrical Components in Nuclear Power Plants. Management of Ageing
The work was finished and reported in Swedish in a limited publication 2000, Ingemansson Rapport H-14061-r-I. As the performed work was regarded to be of more general interest it is published again as a research report by the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate. To be used in the international cooperation in nuclear safety it was also translated into English by the inspectorate, which is this...

1986:12 Chernobyl - its impact on Sweden
In case of a radiological emergency in Sweden, the Swedish National Institute of Radiation Protection (SSI) has the responsibility of organ1z1ng a special task force with experts both from SSI and from other authorities. Reports of increased radiation l evels reached SSI around 10 am on April 28, 1986, and the task force convened at 1030 am. A large number of measurements were made all over...

2012:02 Evaluation of activity build-up experiments
This project aims to understand how the water chemistry affects the activity build-up on surfaces in different systems in Swedish nuclear power plants, which in turn provides information on conditions required to reduce the radiation exposure to power plant staff. The study was done to obtain knowledge about water chemistry conditions preferred to minimize the activity build-up. A number of...

The international radiation protection school in Stockholm attracts participants from over 20 countries
For five days, at Stockholm University, international early and mid-career radiation protection experts gather to develop their knowledge in radiation protection. The course alternates between theory and practice and provides in-depth knowledge and understanding on the structure and application of the international system for radiation protection.

Research on nuclear materials and waste to be strengthened with new partnerships within the EU
Two new major partnerships for research on materials in nuclear energy and nuclear waste management have been launched this autumn. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) actively participates in the partnerships and also contributes with research funds to projects that are granted funding. A total of three partnerships are now ongoing, distributing altogether 70 million euros over a...

2018:18 Procedure for Safety Assessment of Components with Defects
Background SSM and the Swedish nuclear power plant owners have financed Kiwa Inspecta Technology in Sweden to develop a new version of the handbook for assessment of defects. This represents a major update of the former fracture mechanics handbook that was published at SSM as Research 2008:01. The procedure in the handbook is based on the British R6-method where the failure mechanisms...

2013:07 Corrosion of copper in distilled water without molecular oxygen and the detection of produced hydrogen
In this report, results are presented for copper which has been exposed to pure anoxic water in the temperature interval of 21 °C to 55 °C up to a total of 19 000 hours. Characterisations of copper surfaces after exposure have been performed ex-situ, meaning after termination of the experiment and exposing the specimen to normal atmospheric environment. Ideally characterisation of surfaces...

2012:11 Issues in the corrosion of copper in a Swedish high level nuclear waste repository
The objective with this research project was to increase knowledge in the area of copper corrosion in the planned repository environment and obtain information on how copper corrosion evolves during the assessment period of 100 000 years. The equilibrium chemical composition of groundwater close to the canister as a function of temperature has been calculated by use of a thermodynamics code...

2010:32 Fingerprints of zones in boreholes An approach to identify the characteristics of structures
This report concerns a study which was initially conducted for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI), which is now merged into the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM). The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SSM. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) has published Site...

2010:40 Rock-block characterization on regional to local scales for two SKB sites in Forsmark – Uppland and Laxemar – eastern Småland, south-eastern Sweden
To get an overall impression of the general structural setting of a landscape, a remote study of bedrock structures should include studies of the geomorphology at various scales. Thematic maps improve the general understanding of an area. Digital elevation data in 500m, 50m and 10m grids were used for rock-block interpretations at regional, semi-regional and local scales of areas around the...
