  • 2007:24 Safety Management in Non-Nuclear Contexts Examples from Swedish Railway Regulatory and Company Perspectives

    The authors describe important features of safety management and the results are modelled according to the systems perspective developed. These are definitions of safety management, the structure of the organizations, organizational change, regulatory and operational activities, safety strategy, threats to safety, information management and feedback, incident and accident reporting, and...

  • 2007:25 Safety Management Characteristics Reflected in Interviews at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants: A System Perspective Approach

    The study used the themes identified in an earlier study: definitions of safety management, the structure of the organizations, organizational change, regulatory and operational activities, safety strategy, threats to safety, information management and feedback, incident and accident reminders on different aspects of safety management in the nuclear context. reporting, and measurement of...

  • 2007:14 Review of experimental data for modelling LWR fuel cladding behaviour under loss of coolant accident conditions

    This project has contributed to the research goal of giving a basis for SKIs supervision by means of evaluating experimental data and modelling the nuclear fuel cladding during a design base accident. The project has also contributed to the research goal to develop the competence about licensing of fuel at high burnup, which is an important safety issue. The results are useful as such, but...

  • 2006:15e Safety and Radiation Protection at Swedish Nuclear Power Plants 2005

    The safety philosophy upon which the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate’s (SKI) supervisory and regulatory activities are based assume that multiple physical barriers will exist and that a plant-specific defence-in-depth system will be implemented at each plant and that the licensee bears the undivided responsibility for safety. The physical barriers are situated between the radioactive...

  • 2012:50 Fatigue Margins for Austenitic Stainless Steels in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code – A Literature Study

    Knowledge about the margins against fatigue failure in nuclear piping systems is essential. Therefore, the margins in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (section III) fatigue design procedure for austenitic steels, type 304/316, as applied to real components have been investigated in this literature study. It is concluded that the current knowledge about the margins in ASME for...

  • 2013:09 An Application of the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) to Risk Assessment of Organisational Change

    The objective of this study was to demonstrate an alternative approach to risk assessment of organisational changes, based on the principles of resilience engineering. The approach in question was the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM). Whereas established approaches focus on risks coming from failure or malfunctioning of components, alone or in combination, resilience engineering...

  • 2014:01 Cost Estimating for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors in Sweden

    In Sweden, decommissioning cost estimates are core inputs to the process of calculating licensee contributions to the Swedish national fund for radioactive waste management and decommissioning. Under the present system, the decommissioning cost estimates are produced by licensees every three years and formally submitted to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM), which reviews the...

  • 2012:70 Process Parameters Affecting Inhomogeneity of Material Microstructure

    There’s been a tremendous change in the number, product types, locations, equipment, and manufacturing capabilities of stainless steel producers from the late 1960’s to present. This reconfiguration of the global steel industry occurred between the early 1970’s to the mid 1980’s and continues today. These changes have produced a loss in manufacturing flexibility, due to the inherent...

  • SKI Report 2008:01 Reliability Data for piping Components in Nordic Nuclear Poer Plants "R-Book" Project Phase 1

    SKI Report 2008:01 - “Reliability Data for Piping Components in Nordic Nuclear Power Plants - R-Book Project Phase I” – is a planning document for a new R&D project to develop a piping component reliability parameter handbook for use in probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) and related activities. Included in this handbook will be pipe leak failure rates and rupture frequencies that are...

  • 2008:38 Methodology for description and evaluation of cost profiles and cost structure during transitions period

    A demanding task for our generation is to assure the appropriate financial resources are invested in the Swedish Nuclear Waste Fund. This will enable future generations to execute the decommissioning and dismantling of nuclear power reactors and other nuclear facilities in a prudent manner. The main aim is to fulfil the demands of environmental and health codes in a pan-European context...
