2007:19 An Applied Study of Implementation of the Advanced Decommissioning Costing Methodology for Intermediate Storage Facility for Spent Fuel in Studsvik, Sweden with special emphasis to the application of the Omega code
The aim of this applied study has been to describe in a systematic way an appropriate methodological sequence for cost estimation of crucial parameters in decontamination and decommission processes. The work has been limited to older nuclear installations and facilities. Furthermore, it may be envisaged that the process of estimating the parameters of decommissioning is one of the main issues...

2007:08 DECOVALEX-THMC - Task B
This report summarizes the work contributed to Phase 2 of Task B of the international DECOVALEX-THMC project, which took place during the period of March 2004 to May 2006. The Phase 2 work incorporated the use of a wide range of numerical models to simulate the failure of a number of intact rock core samples, from the APSE tunnel at Äspö HRL, as tested in uniaxial compression and other...

2021:02 On Water Induced Sensitization of Ni (Fe,Cr) alloys towards Stress Corrosion Cracking in LWR Piping from 1st Principles Modelling
SSM perspective Background In Swedish Light Water Reactors (LWR), stress corrosion cracking of reactor components and welds occurs from time to time. As the nuclear power plants are ageing, it is essential to study and further understand the mechanism for environmentally induced sensitization. Natural cracking is a phenomenon that is difficult to predict and very hard to study since it occurs...

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...

2021:05 Cladding tube rupture under LOCA: Data and models for rupture opening size
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) follows the research on fuel performance closely. One aspect that is currently being studied in several research projects is the risk of release of fragmented fuel into the primary coolant in case of an accident. This risk depends on complex conditions were one is the possibility and size of a rupture of the fuel rod...

2016:25 Licensing of safety critical software for nuclear reactors
It is widely accepted that the assessment of software cannot be limited to verification and testing of the end product, ie the computer code. Other factors such as the quality of the processes and methods for specifying, designing and coding have an important impact on the implementation. Existing standards provide limited guidance on the regulatory and safety assessment of these factors. An...

2013:29 Regulatory Approaches in Nuclear Power Supervision
The objective of this follow-up study was to support SSM in further understanding regulatory approaches and how they can be combined as part of effective strategies. The survey was intended to assist SSM in identifying current standards, experiences, and practices in the regulation of nuclear power plants. The results will also be valuable for the participating authorities as well as other...

1995:19 Non-destructive Assay of Spent BWR Fuel with High-resolution Gamma-ray Spectroscopy
A method, based on high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy, has been developed for verification of burnup, cooling time, power history and, to some extent, the initial enrichment of spent BWR fuel. It is shown that, provided that the power history is known and corrected for, bumup and cooling time can be verified with accuracies within 3% and 60 days, respectively, for cooling times up to about...
