2024:18 Modelling Environmental Sensitization of Chromia Forming Nickel Base Alloys Toward Stress Corrosion Cracking in Light Water Reactors by Atomistic Simulations
SSM perspective Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in load bearing structures has been a longstanding issue both in pressurized and boiling water reactors. The specific environment in nuclear power applications consists of high temperatures and pressures that together with the effects of the radiation field on the coolant composition provide tough conditions for the materials used in...

1992:3 Characterization of seismic ground motions for probabilistic safety analyses of nuclear facilities in Sweden. SUMMARY REPORT
In Scandinavia seismic activity is generally low. Only a few incidents have been registered in historic time, which might have damaged an industrial plant of today. The risk of a nuclear accident in Sweden, caused by an earthquake, may thus be considered to be low. The two latest reactors Forsmark 3 and Oskarshamn 3 have been analysed and designed to resist a specified earthquake. For the...

2014:48 Technical Note, Independent assessment of groundwater sulphide content in the long-te
Groundwater sulphide content is a key factor in the determination of canister lifetimes because of its role in corrosion of copper. SKB has based the canister lifetime analysis on a distribution of measured sulphide concentrations which are assumed to apply throughout the long-term analysis period. The distribution is based on expert judgement in the selection of samples that are regarded as...

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...
