Research on nuclear materials and waste to be strengthened with new partnerships within the EU
Two new major partnerships for research on materials in nuclear energy and nuclear waste management have been launched this autumn. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) actively participates in the partnerships and also contributes with research funds to projects that are granted funding. A total of three partnerships are now ongoing, distributing altogether 70 million euros over a...

This is how ESS works
The European Spallation Source, or ESS research facility, comprises a neutron source that could be described as an enormous microscope for examining molecular structures. The facility will make it possible to study materials in their smallest components and is consequently useful in materials research in diverse fields such as medicine, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering.

2018:21 Research on Resaturation of Bentonite Buffer
Background Resaturation processes in the bentonite buffer in a KBS-3 type repository for spent nuclear fuel are complicated and are often illustrated, analysed and modelled multi-disciplinarily as coupled thermal (T), hydrological (H) and mechanical (M) processes with multi-phase flow, elastoplastic evolution in a swelling porous medium. Previous THM-modelling showed that the re-saturation...

2018:01 Monte Carlo patient-specific pre-treatment QA system for volumetric modulated arc therapy
Background According to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority's Regulations in Radiotherapy (SSMFS 2008:33) are Swedish clinics required to verify the individual dose to patients, prior the first time a new treatment is given. To fulfil this requirement, current clinics perform in-vivo dosimetry in three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), which means that the entrance of...

2017:15 Radionuclide release rates associated with bounding cases featuring relatively early canister failures in a spent fuel repository
Background In 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) submitted a license application for construction of a geological repository for spent nuclear fuel according to the KBS-3 method, comprising of copper canisters, bentonite buffer, backfill and surrounding crystalline bedrock. The post-closure safety assessment of the repository, SR-Site, has been reviewed by the Swedish...
