• 2007:10 Radiological consequences of radionuclide releases to sewage systems from hospitals in Sweden

  The report addresses radioactive discharges to sewers originating from hospitals, mainly in the form of the excretion of patients treated with radioisotopes for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Assessments of doses to the public, including sewage workers, arising from such discharges are performed. Doses are compared against the exemption level of 10 μSv/a and the dose constraint of 100...

• 2007:04 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Fourth annual report from SSI’s Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields, 2006

  This year’s report includes a preamble in which the work process of the group is described. In particular the methods for evaluation of the results of studies as well as for synthesizing the scientific evidence within a research area are described. A recent childhood leukaemia study from Japan is in line with previous epidemiologic findings. The effects of RF fields on many different...

• 2007:41 Dependency Analysis Guidence, Nordic/German Working Group on Common cause Failure analysis Phaase 1 project report: Comparison and application to test cases

  The report “Nordic/German Working Group on Common cause Failure analysis. Phase 1 project report: Comparisons and application to test cases” presents a common attempt by the authorities and the utilities to create a methodology and experience base for defence and analysis of dependent failures. The performed benchmark application has shown that how the data is interpreted is of significant...

• 2007:39 Influence of Crack Morphology on Leak Before Break Margins

  The SKI regulation SKIFS 2004:2 allows for the use of Leak Before Break (LBB) as one way to provide assurance that adequate protection exists against the local dynamic consequences of a pipe break. The way to demonstrate that LBB prevails relies on a deterministic procedure for which a leakage crack is postulated in certain sections of the pipe based on the leak detection capability of 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...

• 2007:11 Review of Quality Assurance in SKBs Repository Research Experiments

  SKB is preparing a license application for the construction of a final repository for spent nuclear fuel in Sweden. This application will be supported by the safety assessment SR-Site for the post-closure phase. As a preparation for SR-Site SKB has recently produced the SRCan safety assessment, which is currently in review. The assessment of long-term safety is based on a broad range of...
