2021:04 Calibration of models for cladding tube high-temperature creep and rupture in the FRAPTRAN-QT-1.5 program
SSM perspective Background In Swedish Light Water Reactors (LWR), stress corrosion cracking of reactor components and welds occurs from time to time. As the nuclear power plants are ageing, it is essential to study and further understand the mechanism for environmentally induced sensitization. Natural cracking is a phenomenon that is difficult to predict and very hard to study since it occurs...

2020:08 Identifying radiologically important ESS-specific radionuclides and relevant detection methods
SSM perspective Background The European Spallation Source (ESS) facility is under construction in Lund, Sweden. High-energy protons will be accelerated in a linear accelerator and generate neutrons when hitting a rotating target of tungsten. This spallation process will also generate a wide range of different radioactive by-products of which a small part will be released to the environment...
