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...

2025:02 INCLUDE: Including (local) stakeholder participation in the regulatory mission – a future challenge
SSM perspective Background The primary focus of SSM’s communication with stakeholders in relation to the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and nuclear waste has for several years been on formal consultation processes surrounding the Swedish nuclear power industry’s research and development programme as well as SKB’s licence applications under the Nuclear Activities Act. Following licensing by...

2014:51 Report from SSM’s scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology, 2013. MR in radiotherapy - an important step towards personalised treatment?
Imaging is important for radiotherapy and the development of new imaging modalities is closely linked to the evolution of modern radiotherapy. The implementation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in modern radiotherapy holds great promise for the future but the scientific council emphasizes that it must be carefully monitored in order to minimize the introduction of new risks, violating...

2018:13 Prestudy - Detectors for variance measurements
Background The understanding of radiation quality requires knowledge about the energy deposition pattern of ionizing radiation on which models for cellular and sub-cellular damage can be built. Experimental data is fundamental in this context for quality assurance and bench-marking of models and simulations. Direct measurements are also of practical importance for radiation quality...

2017:33 SSM’s external experts’ review of SKB’s safety assessment SR-PSU – dose assessment, Kd-values, and safety analysis methodology
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) received an application for the expansion of SKB’s final repository for low and intermediate level waste at Forsmark (SFR) on the 19 December 2014. SSM is tasked with the review of the application and will issue a statement to the government who will decide on the matter. An important part of the application is SKB’s assessment of the...

2013:30 Laser pointers and Eye injuries - An analysis of reported cases
The safety limits that exist for human exposure of laser radiation are essential to reduce the risk of injuries. These values, however, give very little information on what tissue damages that may be expected at various elevated exposure levels. Similarly, the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSM) has very little information on how such tissue damage is related to the impairment of the...
