2005:09 Twelve years of cooperation in the field of radiation protection
SSI has pursued an international cooperation program since 1992 within the fi eld of radiation protection and emergency preparedness for radiation accidents with the three Baltic countries as main benefi ciaries. As the Baltic countries are members of the EU since fi rst of May 2004, this bilateral support will now be phased out and replaced with other forms of cooperation. During the years...

2004:02 Strengthening the Radiation Protection System in Cuba (SRPS – Cuba)
This project results from the co-operation between a number of Cuban and Swedish institutions. It started in February 2001 and ended in June 2003 and was made possible thanks to the contributions of the Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency (SIDA), the Centro de Protección e Higiene de las Radiaciones, Cuba (CPHR), and the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI). The...

2005:04 (SKI 2005:10) Concentrations of Uranium,Thorium and Potassium in Sweden
This report is largely a result of the Swed-ish contribution to an IAEA co-ordinated research programme (CRP) on the use of selected safety indicators in the assessment of radioactive waste disposal. The CRP was focusing on the assessment of the longterm safety of radioactive waste disposal by means of additional safety indicators based on data from natural systems with emphasis on description...

2002:23 Validation of dose calculation
This report describes a validation of the computer codes RESRAD-RECYCLE and CERISE, which are used to estimate radiation doses due to the recycling of scrap metal. Calculated external radiation doses to individuals are compared with measured data from different steps of the processing of slightly contaminated material, mainly in Studsvik, Sweden.

2020:01 Sulphide-induced stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen absorption incopper exposed to sulphide and chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90°C
SSM perspective Background The concept that the Swedish nuclear power industry plans to utilise for the final disposal spent nuclear fuel is called KBS-3 method, which is based on three different barriers to prevent spreading of radioactive substances: copper canisters, bentonite buffers and the surrounding Swedish bedrock. In the current KBS-3 design, the spent nuclear fuel will be placed in...

2002:16 Epidemiologic Studies of Cellular Telephones and Cancer Risk – A Review
Cellular telephones emit and receive radiofrequency (RF) signals between about 450 and 2200 MHz which fall in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. A RF wave from a cellular telephone contains billions of times less energy than an x-ray and is not capable of inducing ionizations or damaging DNA. The rapid and widespread use of this technology, however, has raised concern over...

2020:13 Core data Research at Uppsala University
SSM perspective Background This project is to support a research group at Uppsala University in the research field of nuclear data for applications. Nuclear data research is about measuring microscopic cross-sections and developing theoretical nuclear models to create evaluated nuclear data libraries. These nuclear data libraries are used in different applications such as, nuclear technology,...
