2007:10 DECOVALEX-THMC - Task D
The DECOVALEX project is an international cooperative project initiated by SKI, the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate, with participation of about 10 international organizations. The name DECOVALEX stands for DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against Experiments. The general goal of this project is to encourage multidisciplinary interactive and cooperative research on...

CONNECT-NM: Euratom partnership for research on nuclear materials
CONNECT-NM is a partnership within Euratom focusing on research related to nuclear materials, primarily in-core structural materials, concrete, fuel cladding and fuel. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) participates in the partnership and leads the creation and management of an advisory body of European regulators. The goal is to facilitate dialogue between regulatory authorities...

2026:04 3D Discrete Element Modelling of Fluid Injection Induced Fault Slip in Argillaceous Rock – Mt.Terri Fault Slip Experiment
SSM perspective Background and objective It is a well-known phenomenon that artificial increased in pore pressure at depth, due to subsurface fluid injection, can trigger earthquakes (Walsh and Zoback 2015, and references therein). Increased pore pressures at depth can also occur naturally, for instance due to the pressure changes imposed by a waxing and waning ice sheet. A geological...

2026:05 Thermally Induced Fracture Slip in Crystalline Rock: Experimental and Numerical Studies and Safety Implications for Geological Disposal of Nuclear Wastes
SSM perspective Background and objective High level radioactive waste, such as spent nuclear fuel, will continue to generate heat after the final disposal in an underground repository. The decay heat results in thermal expansion of the repository rock mass which can induce deformation of the fracture system. Near-field effects may involve thermally induced slip of a fracture crossing a...

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...
