  • 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...

  • 2025:01 Safety Concept Evaluation with Failure Tolerance Analysis

    SSM perspective Background One of the most important design principles to achieve high safety function dependability is the use of redundancy to be single-fault tolerant. In turn, redundancies become effective by applying additional design principles such as physical and functional separation and diversity. License holders of nuclear power reactors must demonstrate that requirements are met,...

  • Radiation protection for personnel

    Licensees of Swedish nuclear power plants are responsible for ensuring that no one is exposed to radiation levels that cause injury. The licensees must also guarantee that all workers at the facilities are exposed to as little radiation as possible viewed over an extended period of time. This implies that the level of safety must be high enough so that no accidents occur exposing the personnel...

  • 2017:20 Assessment of inertia effects on transient clad-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents

    In this report, simple hydrodynamic models are used for studying the effects of coolant inertia on fuel-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents in light water reactors. The objective is to assess if the inertia effects are important enough to warrant modification of QT-COOL, a coolant channel module for two-phase flow that has recently been implemented as...

  • 2014:56 Seismic design and analysis of safety-related nuclear structures in Sweden

    The report presents the historical development of the seismic design for the U.S., France and Sweden with special focus on issues related to severe earthquakes beyond the design basis as well as important aspects concerning the design basis ground motions for the Swedish nuclear facilities. The report provides recommendations on a revised model for seismic hazard assessments, on minimum...
