2022:09 Assessment of modelling approaches for axial gas flow inside LWR fuel rods
SSM perspective Background The fuel rod analysis program SCANAIR has been developed by IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire) for analysis of reactivity initiated accidents (RIA) in light water reactors. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has access to SCANAIR in exchange for annual contributions for its further development. The development and administration...

2017:19 Numerical simulations of headed anchors break in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete structures, Phase 2
Background In the design of anchorage equipment in concrete structures the beneficial effects of reinforcement are, in most cases, not considered. The American ASCI 349-06 code opens up for a more detailed analysis where the beneficial impact of reinforcement on anchor capacity can be taken into account. How this analysis can be done is, however, not explicitly described in the code. The...

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...

2022:14 Weld residual stress and strain measurements on a mock-up with single layer strip cladding common in reactor pressure vessels
Summary Residual stress and strain measurements were performed on a mock-up consisting of a 160 mm thick low-alloy ferritic steel plate of type SA-508 Class 3 with a single layer weld deposited strip cladding of austenitic stainless steel E308L. The cladding was manufactured with submerged arc strip welding adapted to a procedure used for reactor pressure vessels in the 1970s. Comprehensive...

2008:12 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Fifth annual report from SSI’s Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields, 2007
The report for 2007 is divided into four different frequency fields: static fields, extremely low frequency fields (ELF), intermediate fields (IF) and radiofrequency fields (RF). Recent volunteer studies have shown that movement in very strong static magnetic fields (>1T, used in magnetic resonance imaging) can induce electrical fields in the body and sensations of vertigo in some people and...

2009:14 Review of Legislation and Regulatory Framework in Ukraine with Regard to Environmental Radiation Monitoring
This report was written in the frames of the development cooperation project in Ukraine entitled “Environmental Radiation Monitoring”. This report concerns a study which has been conducted for the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM. The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the author/authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SSM. In 2006, the...

2025:04 Recent Research on electromagnetic fields and Health Risk, nineteenth report from SSM’s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2024
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields monitors current research on potential health risks in relation to exposure to electromagnetic fields and provides the authority with advice on assessing possible health risks. The Council gives guidance when the authority must give an opinion on policy matters when...

2024:17 Atomistic studies on the adsorption and desorption of radionuclides on fuel crud and system surfaces in Light Water Reactors
SSM perspective Background Radiation safety is of particular concern during power plant maintenance. Radionuclides produced by the neutron bombardment in the core during operation may accumulate on system surfaces such as the filter system or piping and contribute to the radiation field. Some ions that are prone to neutron capture often become trapped in the deposits on the fuel cladding...
