2026:06 A Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) Taxonomy for Small Modular Reactors (SMR) – Part 1 of 2: Mapping the SMR landscape
SSM perspective Background Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are typically presented as a solution for safe and reliable energy, requiring less time to construct than the traditional large reactors. The inherent safety features, higher levels of automation and increased reliance on passive safety are often held as reasons for fewer operators being needed in the daily operations and for handling...

New wide call to strengthen research in nuclear power, waste management, radiation protection and nuclear non-proliferation
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is launching a wide research call covering four areas within radiation safety, including skills supply, nuclear non-proliferation, and the final disposal of nuclear waste. In total, the authority plans to allocate SEK 81 million for research during the period 2026–2031. International institutions are also eligible to apply for funding from one of the...

IAEA IRRS-mission report to Sweden published
The International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, has reviewed Sweden’s framework for nuclear safety and radiation protection, the so-called IRRS review (Integrated Regulatory Review Service). The review is carried out every ten years by a group of international experts led by a team from the IAEA. Sweden’s second full-scope IRRS-review was carried out 14 – 25 November 2022. The report has now...

2024:10 Computational analysis of high-burnup fuel rod behaviour in PWR large-break LOCA
SSM perspective Background Quantum Technologies AB (QT) has for many years developed computational models for the thermomechanical behaviour of nuclear fuel in events such as LOCA and RIA. The research projects have been based on evaluations of tests on nuclear fuel in Halden Reactor Project (HRP) and Studsvik Cladding Integrity Project (SCIP). The models developed by QT enable analyses and...

2024:14 Residual stress distributions in nickel-based dissimilar metal pipe welds
SSM perspective 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. Abstract It is common for nickel-base materials to be used as filler metals in the welding of dissimilar metal welds. Dissimilar metal...

2013:07 Corrosion of copper in distilled water without molecular oxygen and the detection of produced hydrogen
In this report, results are presented for copper which has been exposed to pure anoxic water in the temperature interval of 21 °C to 55 °C up to a total of 19 000 hours. Characterisations of copper surfaces after exposure have been performed ex-situ, meaning after termination of the experiment and exposing the specimen to normal atmospheric environment. Ideally characterisation of surfaces...

2018:18 Procedure for Safety Assessment of Components with Defects
Background SSM and the Swedish nuclear power plant owners have financed Kiwa Inspecta Technology in Sweden to develop a new version of the handbook for assessment of defects. This represents a major update of the former fracture mechanics handbook that was published at SSM as Research 2008:01. The procedure in the handbook is based on the British R6-method where the failure mechanisms...
