2017:09 Evaluation of the Swedish participation in the Nordic Nuclear Safety Research (NKS) collaboration
Background NKS is a Nordic collaboration promoting cooperation on nuclear safety and emergency preparedness research. The research program is primarily funded by Nordic radiation safety authorities and responsible ministries. The main purpose of NKS is to finance joint Nordic activities and initiatives, including seminars and workshops, technical reports, exercises and scientific articles.

2017:22 Effect of weld repairs on residual stresses in nickel base dissimilar metal welds
Background The driving force for crack growth near welds in nuclear application piping may arise from weld residual stresses. Experience from nondestructive examination show that cracks in dissimilar metal welds are often found near weld repairs. The repair welding may affect the residual stresses through e.g. increased tensile stresses and increased plastic straining on the surfaces of the...

2003:12 Analysis of Critical Issues in Biosphere Assessment Modelling and Site Investigation
The aim of this document is to present a critical review of issues concerned with the treatment of the biosphere and geosphere-biosphere interface in longterm performance assessment studies for nuclear waste disposal in Sweden. The review covers three main areas of investigation: a review of SKB’s plans for undertaking site investigations at candidate locations for the development of a deep...

2017:05 Robust structural verification of pressurized nuclear components subjected to ratcheting, part two – stress-strain curves for cyclic elastoplastic analysis.
Background Pressurized components in nuclear applications that are subjected to cyclic loading may exhibit progressive deformation, so called structural ratcheting. If the component is made out of a material that are deformation hardening, it may also exhibit material ratcheting. The combined effects of structural- and material ratcheting are not taken into account in the methods and material...

2017:20 Assessment of inertia effects on transient clad-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents
In this report, simple hydrodynamic models are used for studying the effects of coolant inertia on fuel-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents in light water reactors. The objective is to assess if the inertia effects are important enough to warrant modification of QT-COOL, a coolant channel module for two-phase flow that has recently been implemented as...

2003:14 Exchange processes at geosphere-biosphere interfaceCurrent SKB approach and example of coupled hydrological- ecological approach
The design of the repository for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel proposed by SKB is based on a multi barrier system, in which the geosphere and biosphere are the utmost barrier surrounding the engineer barriers. This report briefly reviews the current approach taken by SKB to account for hydrological and ecological processes at the geosphere-biosphere interface (GBI) and their future...

2017:16 Stress intensity factor solutions for circumferential cracks in cylindrical bars under axisymmetric loading and global bending
Background The case of a circumferential crack in a cylindrical bar has not been available in the ProSACC code. The need for such a geometry, especially considering nonlinear axisymmetric loading and global bending, has motivated the development of new stress intensity factor solutions, also known as K-solutions. These new K-solutions will be available in ISAAC, the successor to ProSACC.

2002:14 Review of C-14 inventory for the SFR facility
The Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI) is currently reviewing SKB’s continuing assessment for disposal of radioactive waste to the SFR facility at Forsmark. Among the wastes disposed are reactor operating wastes. Among the relevant radionuclides is C-14, which is relatively difficult to measure and to control because of its mobility. This report documents a review of the C-14...
