2023:12 Investigation of the limits of detection for specific radionuclides in soil from the European Spallation Source (ESS) using radiometric and mass spectrometric methods
SSM perspective Background In Lund, the construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) research facility is underway and the facility is also undergoing a stepwise licensing procedure in accordance with relevant legal requirements. At ESS, neutrons will be produced by spallation when high-energy protons from a linear accelerator hit a rotating tungsten beam target. The neutrons released...

2024:02 Earthquake stationarity and distributed fault displacements, Forsmark repository site
SSM perspective Background and objective Large earthquakes occur predominantly along plate boundaries. Due to this, much of the research have been directed towards this tectonic setting. Also, the general lack of seismicity data in stable continental interiors, such as the Baltic Shield, have impeded estimations, as well as the understanding, of the seismic hazard in these tectonic settings.

2024:15 Techical Note, Review of SKB’s continued work on design development for the 2BMA disposal vault of the SFR repository
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) examines the Swedish Nuclear Fuel Company’s (SKB) applications in a step-wise review and approval process according to the government’s licence conditions under the Act on Nuclear Activities (SFS 1984:3) for the construction and operation of geological disposal facilities. As part of the review, SSM commissions consultants...

2017:32 COMRAD – Comprehensive investigation of the performance of computed and digital radiography
Background Within the industry, there has long been a need to replace the traditional X-ray film and its handling. These both for economic and environmental considerations. Both computed radiography and digital radiography offer many advantages over the traditional use of x-ray with film. However, the transition from film-based radiography requires in-depth knowledge of the relationship...

2023:04 Kingdom of Sweden ARTEMIS Self-assessment Report 2023
Foreword In January 2018, the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, submitted a request to the IAEA on behalf of the Swedish Government for international peer reviews to be conducted of the Swedish national frameworks for nuclear safety regulation (IRRS) and the safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste (ARTEMIS). In dialogue with the IAEA, and in support of the then Swedish...

2021:14 Reliability, Feasibility and Significance of Measurements of Conductivity and Transmissivity of the Rock Mass for the Understanding of the Evolution of a Repository of Radioactive Waste
SSM perspective Background The conducted research was part of the international research project DECOVALEX 2019 (DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments). DECOVALEX 2019 consisted of seven different research projects called Task A to G. SSM were involved in Task G, which were composed of three different teams from Technical University of Liberec (TUL), Seoul...

2021:21 Region-specific radioecological evaluation of accidental releases of radionuclides from ESS
SSM perspective Background To strengthen the material science research in Europe, the European Spallation Source (ESS) is being built in Lund in the southern part of Sweden. In the spallation process, neutrons are generated when the accelerated protons hit the tungsten target. In addition, a broad range of radioactive by-products are produced that differs from the fission products produced in...

2022:03 Effect of Neutron Irradiation on the Oxidation and Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steels
SSM perspective Background Reactor pressure vessel internal components of austenitic stainless steel located close to the core are subject to a high neutron flux. Irradiation by fast neutrons induces changes in the material that affect microstructure, mechanical properties and microchemistry. These changes eventually lead to an increased susceptibility to irradiation assisted stress corrosion...
