  • 2015:50 Assessment of structures subject to concrete pathologies (ASCET)

    Many Nuclear Power Plants around the world are at the moment approaching, or in, their Long Term Operation stage of their operational phase. In addition, several NPPs have recently been carrying out uprate and life extension projects and comprehensive maintenance work including the exchange of components important to safety, in order to extend their lifetime. As a result, ageing management...

  • 2012:70 Process Parameters Affecting Inhomogeneity of Material Microstructure

    There’s been a tremendous change in the number, product types, locations, equipment, and manufacturing capabilities of stainless steel producers from the late 1960’s to present. This reconfiguration of the global steel industry occurred between the early 1970’s to the mid 1980’s and continues today. These changes have produced a loss in manufacturing flexibility, due to the inherent...

  • 2015:38 Evaluation of fatigue in austenitic stainless steel pipe components

    Background Transferability of experimental results obtained for smooth test specimens under constant amplitude loading to realistic components subjected to variable amplitude loading is an important issue in the design against fatigue. There is a lack of experimental fatigue data for austenitic steel components and the present study is an important contribution to fill this gap. Objective The...

  • 2007:37 Identification of Common Cause Initiating Events Using the NEA IRS Database

    The study carried out within the framework of this project is a continuation of work conducted for SKI in 1998 on the identification of Common Cause Initiators based on operational events documented in the NEA Incident Reporting System (IRS). This project covered the events reported in the IRS database with the incident date in the period of 1980- 01-01 – 2006-11-15. The events of highest...

  • 2018:15 Review of Geochemical Data Utilisation in SR-Site Safety Assessment

    The objective of this study is to understand how data for groundwater compositions were used in producing the Site Descriptive Model for Forsmark and as input data for the safety assessment, SRSite. Improving this understanding sheds further light on the significance of data uncertainties, data processing and interpretation on the degree of uniqueness in the descriptive model, parameterisation...

  • 2018:08 Calculated radiological consequences of applying European clearance levels to scrap metal from the decommissioning of Swedish nuclear facilities

    Background Many practices involving radioactive substances generate materials with potential or known radioactive contamination. Clearance of materials means a decision that such materials can be released from regulatory control and used or disposed of without restrictions from a radiation protection point of view. According to regulations issued by the SSM, such decisions must be based on...

  • 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...

  • 2008:08 Review of SKB:s Work on Coupled THM Processes Within SR-Can External review contribution in support of SKI:s and SSI:s

    The work presented in this report is part of the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority’s (SSI) SR-Can review project. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) plans to submit a license application for the construction of a repository for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden 2010. In support of this application SKB will present a safety...

  • 2010:08 Development of COLLAGE 3

    The issue of colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport (CFRT) was last addressed by the Swedish nuclear regulators (SKI at that time, now integrated into SSM) in 2001 – 2002. SKI had commissioned the Collage code with subsequent development as Collage 2. This code was employed to investigate the potential role for colloids to have been involved in the transport of radionuclides at the Nevada...
