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...

2023:11 Study of degradation of spent fuel’s structural material and core components under long-term wet storage
SSM perspective Background Sweden is managing the spent nuclear fuel and core components from its commercial nuclear reactors with a national strategic plan. The fuel and core components are initially stored at the reactor site. After an on-site storage period to comply with transportation limits on decay heat and radiation, these materials are shipped to the Clab (Central Interim Storage...

2023:14 Effect of gamma-irradiation on the redox states of the structural iron in bentonite clay
SSM perspective Background Bentonite clay is used as buffer and backfill material which form engineered barrier in the spent fuel repository. The buffer material surrounding the copper canister will be exposed to gamma and neutron radiations, especially during the first few hundred years after closure of the repository. The redox states of the structural iron in montmorillonite, the dominant...
