2013:14 Approaches used for Clearance of Lands from Nuclear Facilities among Several Countries – Evaluation for Regulatory Input
SSM has recently established new regulations for clearance of materials, rooms, buildings and land (SSMFS 2011:2). The regulations specify that license holders for practices involving ionising radiation shall take measures after the cessation of the practice to achieve clearance of rooms, buildings and land. The regulations state nuclide specific clearance levels in becquerel per m2 for rooms...

2007:10 Radiological consequences of radionuclide releases to sewage systems from hospitals in Sweden
The report addresses radioactive discharges to sewers originating from hospitals, mainly in the form of the excretion of patients treated with radioisotopes for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. Assessments of doses to the public, including sewage workers, arising from such discharges are performed. Doses are compared against the exemption level of 10 μSv/a and the dose constraint of 100...
