  • 2018:24 Structural equation modelling for analysis of human and organizational factors in nuclear power plant control rooms

    SSM perspective Background During the supervisory work of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM), a need was identified to develop the methods used when evaluating control room work in the central control rooms of nuclear power plants. Benchmarking is commonly used today, with reference values from earlier Integrated System Validation (ISV), when ISV is available. Often, ISV performs...

  • 2019:15 3D Thermo-Mechanical Coupled Modelling of Thermo-Seismic Response of a Fractured Rock Mass related to the Final Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and Nuclear Waste in Hard Rock

    SSM perspective Background When assessing the long-term safety of a repository for spent nuclear fuel it is important to consider future earthquakes. Previous studies by Yoon et al. (2014, SSM Report 2014:59) and (2016, SSM Report 2016:23) investigated the fracture responses due to heat and earthquakes at major deformation zones using a 2D thermo-mechanical coupled model that uses a Particle...

  • 2019:12 Radiological risk assessment for the “Radon” type surface disposal facility in Chisinau, Moldova

    Abstract The long-term conditions and potential radiological consequences of the legacy radioactive waste stored in the RADON-type disposal facility outside Chisinau is of concern for the central government authorities of the Republic of Moldova. A radiological risk assessment of “zero alternative scenario” for the RADON-type of near-surface disposal facility has been conducted. The objective...

  • 2019:26 Analysis of trends in brain tumour incidence in Sweden

    SSM perspective Background In the past few years, a discussion has been ongoing in both the research community and the media as to whether exposure to radiowaves from the use of mobile phones has an impact on the incidence of brain tumours in the general population. Ever since the introduction of mobile phones in the 1980s, their use has increased dramatically and has now spread to almost all...
