• 2015:47 GEMA-Site 1: Model description and example application

  Background In 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) submitted an assessment of the long-term safety of a KBS-3 geological disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel in Forsmark, Sweden. This assessment, the SR-Site project, supports the licence application of SKB to build such a final disposal facility. The biosphere dose assessment carried out as part of SR-Site...

• 2013:37 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics – Evolution of fracture transmissivity within different scenarios in SR-Site – Main Review Phase

  The current review assignment consists of a literature review and independent modeling for assessing the importance of fracture transmissivity change especially driven by shear loading due to SKB’s thermal, glacial and earthquake loading scenarios for the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark. In the first part of the report, SKB’s laboratory experiments on shear fracture dilation and extensive...

• 2015:18 Uranium Aerosol Characteristics at a Nuclear Fuel Manufacturing Site - Particle Size, Morphology and Chemical Composition

  Vid alla kärntekniska verksamheter krävs att strålningsmiljön kontrolleras dels genom mätningar av ytors- och luftens kontamination i anläggningen och dels med persondosimetriverksamhet inkluderat helkroppsmätning. De olika metoder som används för att beräkna intecknad effektiv stråldos från kontinuerligt intag via inandning är förknippade...

• 2015:50 Assessment of structures subject to concrete pathologies (ASCET)

  Many Nuclear Power Plants around the world are at the moment approaching, or in, their Long Term Operation stage of their operational phase. In addition, several NPPs have recently been carrying out uprate and life extension projects and comprehensive maintenance work including the exchange of components important to safety, in order to extend their lifetime. As a result, ageing management...

• 2015:27 APRI-8: Accident Phenomena of Risk Importance. En lägesrapport om forskningen inom området svåra haverier under åren 2012-2014

  Kunskap om de fenomen som kan uppträda vid svåra haverier i en kärnkraftanläggning är en viktig förutsättning för att kunna förutse anläggningens beteende, för att kunna utforma rutiner och instruktioner för haverihantering, för beredskapsplaneringen samt för att få god kvalitet på haverianalyser och riskstudier. Sedan...

• 2015:38 Evaluation of fatigue in austenitic stainless steel pipe components

  Background Transferability of experimental results obtained for smooth test specimens under constant amplitude loading to realistic components subjected to variable amplitude loading is an important issue in the design against fatigue. There is a lack of experimental fatigue data for austenitic steel components and the present study is an important contribution to fill this gap. Objective The...

• 2015:10 SafePhase: Safety culture challenges in design, construction, installation and commissioning phases of large nuclear power projects

  Different lifecycle phases of a nuclear power plant present new human-technology- organization challenges to regulators and licensees. Organizational processes and practices that have evolved in one phase of development might be dysfunctional for the next phase, and the definition of “good safety culture” in practice might be unclear. The objective of the SafePhase study is to improve the...

• 2015:20 The effects of mild, acute hypoxia on cognitive performance

  Room air with reduced oxygen levels that prevent materials to ignite and combust is a cost-effective and increasingly popular fire prevention method. For system safety reasons, the effects of hypoxia, that is, the lack of sufficient oxygen (that is, less than 21% oxygen which is the approximate oxygen level of normal air), on cognitive performance of persons working under such conditions are...

• 2015:04 DiD-PSA: Development of a Framework for Evaluation of the Defence-in-Depth with PSA

  The project declares an interpretation of the definitions of Defence in Depth given by IAEA which outline a framework to meet PSA. For each level of defence and combinations of levels, methods to give estimates from a PSA perspective are presented and discussed. One important result is the discussion of the basic definitions and the basis for defence-in-depth, as defined by IAEA, leading to...

• 2015:09 PROSIR - Probabilistic Structural Integrity of a PWR Reactor Pressure Vessel

  Following an OCDE round robin proposal, 16 participants from 9 countries (USA, Japan, Korea (6 participants), Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic, Spain, EC and France (3 participants)) have been involved in a round robin study called PROSIR, Probabilistic Structural Integrity of a PWR Reactor Pressure Vessel. The PROSIR project started already in 2003 and a final draft version of the main report...
