2016:01 Literature Study on Sparse Channel Interpretation and Modeling
Channelling has been observed in laboratory and field experiments at various scales. However, it is still an open research issue whether a sparse channel network is likely to be a better model than the fracture network model for representing the flow system in fractured rocks. The present report presents a literature study to bring together information useful for addressing this issue.

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...

2018:17 Assessment of structures subject to concrete pathologies (ASCET), phase 2
Background ASCET is an international research project initiated by WGIAGE1 OECD2 / NEA3. WGIAGE4 Concrete subgroup is a working group within the OECD / NEA whose task is to address issues concerning the maintenance of the integrity of concrete structures, proposals for general principles to optimally handle the challenges of integrity, especially with regard to aging of concrete structures.

2012:22 A dosimetric intercomparison between the radiation therapy clinics in Sweden
In general the study showed a good agreement between the results from the audit team and the local team. The examination of the reference dosimetry showed an excellent agreement between the absorbed dose determined by the audit team and the local team. The spread of the results among the Swedish radiotherapy departments was much lower as compared to similar studies conducted in other...

2016:22 Clinical radiotherapy research activities in Sweden
In 2009, the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten, SSM) appointed a scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology. The council consists of scientific experts in the fields of oncology, radiobiology and medical physics. Their task is to annually review and evaluate scientific developments in radiotherapy and to give SSM advice in issues where a...

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...
