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.

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...

2013:31 Aesthetic ultrasound devices – current state of knowledge and suggested measurement set-up for characterization of exposure
This report concerns the ultrasound devices used for the aesthetic purposes of body contouring and fat reduction (ablation of adipose tissue). Such devices have recently become more frequent on the Swedish market. These ultrasound devices are currently not medically regulated in Sweden and little is known about their safety and potentially harmful exposure when using them. This report aims to...

1994:14 Evaluation of acceptance criteriafor data on environmentally assistedcracking in light water reactors
The assessment of possible sub-critical crack growth through environmentally assisted cracking (EAC) is a commonly encountered problem in safety evaluations of light water reactor components. The numerous factors influencing EAC fall into three main groups (material, medium and loading), but their interactions are highly complex. Field assessments usually rely on the evaluation of...

2012:23e Integrated assessment of radiation safety in health and medical services
The county councils do not meet the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s requirements in terms of radiation safety. This implies that their health and medical services have deficiencies in this area that could lead to serious consequences for patients and staff, a conclusion based on the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s compilation of information from the nine county councils that...

2012:20 Report from SSM’s scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology, 2011
Many cancer patients are treated in accordance with written guidelines or clinical trial protocols. The scientific council states that the radiotherapy part in those guidelines and protocols is less well specified than other therapies such as surgery and chemotherapy. This report identifies the key aspects of modern radiotherapy from international radiotherapy organisations and scientific...
