2007:15 Evaluation of the FRAPTRAN -1.3 Computer Cod
The FRAPTRAN-1.3 computer code has been evaluated regarding its applicability, modelling capability, user friendliness, source code structure and supporting experimental database. The code is intended for thermo-mechanical analyses of light water reactor nuclear fuel rods under reactor power and coolant transients, such as overpower transients, reactivity initiated accidents (RIA),...

2007:14 Review of experimental data for modelling LWR fuel cladding behaviour under loss of coolant accident conditions
This project has contributed to the research goal of giving a basis for SKIs supervision by means of evaluating experimental data and modelling the nuclear fuel cladding during a design base accident. The project has also contributed to the research goal to develop the competence about licensing of fuel at high burnup, which is an important safety issue. The results are useful as such, but...

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...

2007:24 Safety Management in Non-Nuclear Contexts Examples from Swedish Railway Regulatory and Company Perspectives
The authors describe important features of safety management and the results are modelled according to the systems perspective developed. These are definitions of safety management, the structure of the organizations, organizational change, regulatory and operational activities, safety strategy, threats to safety, information management and feedback, incident and accident reporting, and...

2007:25 Safety Management Characteristics Reflected in Interviews at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants: A System Perspective Approach
The study used the themes identified in an earlier study: definitions of safety management, the structure of the organizations, organizational change, regulatory and operational activities, safety strategy, threats to safety, information management and feedback, incident and accident reminders on different aspects of safety management in the nuclear context. reporting, and measurement of...

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...

2020:12 Assessment of the QT-COOL coolant channel module against the PBF RIA 1-2 experiment
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. This ensures a possibility...

2020:07 Fibre Clogging in Nuclear Power Plants
SSM perspective Background Emergency core cooling systems in boiling- and pressurized water reactors use strainers. Their purpose is to out foreign material suspended in the cooling water so this material does not reach the reactor. After the 1992 event at Barsebäck nuclear power plant when the strainers of the emergency cooling system was clogged due to fibers in the cooling water, all...
