2007:04 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Fourth annual report from SSI’s Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields, 2006
This year’s report includes a preamble in which the work process of the group is described. In particular the methods for evaluation of the results of studies as well as for synthesizing the scientific evidence within a research area are described. A recent childhood leukaemia study from Japan is in line with previous epidemiologic findings. The effects of RF fields on many different...

2001:11 Ethical Problems in Radiation Protection
In this report the authors survey existing international radiation-protection recommendations and standards of the ICRP, the IAEA, and the ILO. After outlining previous work on the ethics of radiation protection, professional ethics, and the ethics of human radiation experiments, the authors review ethical thinking on seven key issues related to radiation protection and ethics. They formulate...

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. Shankar Menon, Christine Brun-Yaba, Charley...

2024:01 Stress field modelling of the Forsmark lens – Correlation of stress measurements with stress field simulations
SSM perspective Background and objective Understanding the in-situ stress field in the Forsmark tectonic lens will lay the fundamental basis to characterise the prevailing mechanical and hydraulic behaviour of the rock mass. Only with a good understanding of the geomechanical setting including the stress field an analysis of future rock mass behaviour under the evolution of conditions in a...

2023:03 A novel method for retrospective analysis regarding appropriateness of radiological examinations
SSM perspective Background The use of X-ray diagnostic examinations, especially computed tomography, has increased in recent decades and it is essential that this increase is justified and contribute to a better care of the patients. There are many reasons to refrain from performing inappropriate radiological examinations, including not to expose patients to unnecessary ionising radiation. In...

2022:14 Weld residual stress and strain measurements on a mock-up with single layer strip cladding common in reactor pressure vessels
Summary Residual stress and strain measurements were performed on a mock-up consisting of a 160 mm thick low-alloy ferritic steel plate of type SA-508 Class 3 with a single layer weld deposited strip cladding of austenitic stainless steel E308L. The cladding was manufactured with submerged arc strip welding adapted to a procedure used for reactor pressure vessels in the 1970s. Comprehensive...

2022:18 Data report – sampling of sea water and marine organisms outside Ringhals NPP
SSM perspective Background The Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) funded the collection of marine biota over an annual cycle at the Ringhals nuclear power plant (NPP) to enable development of analytical methods for C-14. Methods for the C-14 analysis and results in the form of levels of C-14 in various marine organisms have been reported by the Swedish Defense Research Institute (FOI) in FOI...
