2008:05 International Expert Review of SR-Can: Safety Assessment Methodology - External review contribution in support of SSI's and SKI's review of SR-Can
In 2006, SKB published a safety assessment (SR-Can) as part of its work to support a licence application for the construction of a final repository for spent nuclear fuel. The report represented the culmination of work conducted by SKB over several years, focusing on the goal of making the licence application in late 2009. Results from the SR-Can project have been documented in several...

2008:08 SSI:s independent consequence calculations in support of the regulatory review of the SR-Can safety assessment
With the publication of the SR-Can report at the end of 2006, Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) have presented a complete assessment of long-term safety for a KBS-3 repository. The SR-Can project demonstrates progress in SKB’s capabilities in respect of the methodology for assessment of long-term safety in support of a licence application for a final repository. According to...

2008:09 The Generalised Ecosystem Modelling Approach in radiological assessment
An independent modelling capability is required by SSI in order to evaluate dose assessments carried out in Sweden by, amongst others, SKB. The main focus is the evaluation of the long-term radiological safety of radioactive waste repositories for both spent fuel and low-level radioactive waste. To meet the requirement for an independent modelling tool for use in biosphere dose assessments,...

2008:10 User’s manual for Ecolego Toolbox and the Discretization Block
The CLIMB modelling team (Catchment LInked Models of radiological effects in the Biosphere) was instituted in 2004 to provide SSI with an independent modelling capability when reviewing SKB’s assessment of long-term safety for a geological repository. Modelling in CLIMB covers all aspects of performance assessment (PA) from near-field releases to radiological consequences in the surface...

2007:07 Inquiry into the radiological consequences of power uprates at light-water rectors worldwide
In Sweden, most of the nuclear power plants are planning power uprates within the next few years. The Department of Occupational and Medical Exposures at the Swedish Radiation Protection Agency, SSI, has initiated a research project to investigate the radiological implications of power uprates on light-water reactors throughout the world. The project was divided into three tasks: A compilation...

2005:60 Research and Service Experience with Environmentally-Assisted Cracking in Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels in High-Temperature Water
In this report, the most relevant aspects of research and service experience with environmentally assisted cracking of carbon and low-alloy steels in high-temperature water are reviewed, with special emphasis on the primary pressure-boundary components of boiling water reactors. The main factors controlling the susceptibility to environmentally assisted cracking under light water reactor...

2001:23 Interactions of Severe Accident Researchand Regulatory Positions (ISARRP)
This project, started on April 1, 1999, had the specific objectives of determining whether; (i) the focus of the severe accidents (SA) research is consistent with that of the regulatory authorities, (ii) the results obtained so far by SA research satisfy the regulatory concerns, (iii) the future programs, envisaged will address the potential regulatory needs into next century, and (iv) how...

1996:70 Risks from Nuclear Waste
The first part of this review discusses the importance of risk. Man seems to have a longing for risks, like a part of the human nature. If risks are missing, they have to be invented, as needed parts in the emotional attraction of sports, amusement parks, traveling, etc.; this is the emotional part of risk. There is also a rational part of risk , in selecting such objects in ordinary life big...
