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...

2018:18 Procedure for Safety Assessment of Components with Defects
Background SSM and the Swedish nuclear power plant owners have financed Kiwa Inspecta Technology in Sweden to develop a new version of the handbook for assessment of defects. This represents a major update of the former fracture mechanics handbook that was published at SSM as Research 2008:01. The procedure in the handbook is based on the British R6-method where the failure mechanisms...

2001:16 Seven Law Concepts on Nuclear Non-Proliferation
The Treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) is the foundation for both national and international supervision and control of nuclear material, equipment and technology. States that are parties to the NPT are committed to adhere to the requirements and conditions that follow from the Treaty. That means that a party state must develop adequate national legislation and establish...

2014:54 Technical Note, Further Modelling Comparison of Simple Reference Biosphere Models with the LDF Modelling Approach – Main Review Phase
This Technical Note describes further use of simple reference biosphere models for SSM’s review of the Landscape Dose Factor (LDF) approach adopted by SKB in the SR‑Site safety assessment for the proposed final disposal of spent nuclear fuel at the Forsmark site. Simple biosphere models for the Forsmark site under temperate climate conditions were previously developed for SSM’s review and are...

2014:58 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Assessing probability and extent of blind faults and fault-end growth around the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark – Main Review Phase
To get a general understanding of the stability conditions of the fault and deformation zone inventory at Forsmark a reactivation potential analysis was carried out. At present-day stress conditions the deformation zones are stable and show no large deformations or detected seismicity. Any changes in stress, and in particular increase of differential stress on deformation zones, might cause...

2014:47 Technical Note, Assessment of groundwater salinity evolution at repository depth and especially the impact of dilute water infiltration
Groundwater compositions entering deposition holes in the repository will be progressively diluted over time because of expected changes of topographic and climatic conditions at Forsmark. This is a long-term safety issue because very dilute water could destabilise compacted bentonite and erode buffer, leading to advective movement of sulphide-containing water to the canister surface. SKB’s...
