• Man-Technology-Organisation

  No technical safety systems can work without the close involvement of people and the surrounding organisation. This is why our regulatory supervision is based on how people work and the fact that quality and safety hinge on people, the specific context and organisation, alongside the technology itself. We always have this perspective when we review all aspects of nuclear power plant...

• Our safety and security work

  The role of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is to impose safety and security requirements as well as to conduct follow-ups to ensure that the entities operating the facilities fulfil the applicable regulatory frameworks and requirements.

• 2017:19 Numerical simulations of headed anchors break in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete structures, Phase 2

  Background In the design of anchorage equipment in concrete structures the beneficial effects of reinforcement are, in most cases, not considered. The American ASCI 349-06 code opens up for a more detailed analysis where the beneficial impact of reinforcement on anchor capacity can be taken into account. How this analysis can be done is, however, not explicitly described in the code. The...

• 2017:11 Extended Common Load Model: A tool for dependent failure modelling in highly redundant structures

  Background The treatment of dependent failures is one of the most controversial subjects in reliability and risk analyses. The difficulties are specially underlined in the case of highly redundant systems, when the number of redundant components or trains exceeds four. The Common Load Model (CLM), originally defined in the 70’ies, differs from other CCF models, as it relies on a specific...

• 2017:25 Evaluation of weld fatigue reduction in austenitic stainless steel pipe components

  Background The performed investigation is a continuation of the work performed in SSM 2015:38 where fatigue tests were performed on pressurized welded austenitic stainless steel piping components. The specimens were subjected to a realistic variable amplitude loading with mainly reversed bending deformation and particular focus on high cycle fatigue. The previous fatigue results were quite...

• 2017:35 Review of paleo-, historical and current seismicity in Sweden and surrounding areas with implications for the seismic analysis underlying SKI report 92:3

  Abstract The report contains a review of the current state of knowledge on Swedish paleoseismic events, as well as information on the Swedish earthquake catalogue updated to early autumn 2016 and the revised Nordic earthquake catalogue (Fencat). It includes a section on the possibilities to assess spatial and temporal variations in seismicity, given the sparse early catalogues and the low...

• 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...

• 2014:28 Numerical simulation of ductile crack growth in residual stress fields

  The study has shown on the capability of the cell model in capturing the effects on ductile tearing from limited pre-load levels and a residual stress field. Some of the conclusions are as follows: No distinctive influence on the material fracture toughness is observed from pre-loading (work hardening), both tensile and compressive, at room temperature of 1.5 or 3 % total strain. The cell...

• 2017:29 Evaluation of the simulation software CIVA for qualification purpose

  Background Modeling is an important tool within NDT, partly to develop and optimize testing technologies, but also within the Qualification Body’s activities to assess technical verifications and perform parameter studies. SSM has supported university research in the area for many years and, among other things, in the development of a software for ultrasound modeling. In addition, the...
