2007:02e Radiation Environment in Sweden, summary
The radiation environment to which the population of Sweden is exposed is dominated by medical investigations and background radiation from the ground and building materials in our houses. That is the conclusion of the first general Swedish summary of environmental monitoring data and dose calculations within the field of radiation. The report shows that people’s behaviour in the form of...

2006:02 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risks. Third annual report from SSIs Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields 2005
SSI:s international independent expert group for electromagnetic fields was established in 2002. In December each year a report on the scientific development in the field is delivered to the Director General of SSI. This is the third annual report. Recent studies from the REFLEX programme suggest genotoxic effects from exposure to relatively weak extremely low frequency and radio frequency...

2005:16 Radon Risk Map of Estonia; Explanatory text to the Radon Risk Map Set of Estonia at the scale of 1:500,000
Radon Risk Map of Estonia has been produced to provide an overview of the concentration of the radioactive inert gas radon-222 in soil air and of the concentrations of uranium, thorium and potassium in the soil. The aim of the map is to serve as a tool in the effort to reduce the health risk posed by radon in dwellings and workplaces. The Radon Risk Map gives general information on areas...

2005:01 Reports from SSI:s International Independent Expert Group on Electromagnetic Fields 2003 and 2004
Part 1: The focus of the 2003 report is on epidemiological and experimental cancer research, blood-brain barrier and heat shock proteins. In none of these areas have there been breakthrough results since the British Stewart-report and the Swedish RALF-report that have warranted fi rm conclusions in one way or the other. Part 2: The three fi rst reports from the Interphone Study have been...

2003:20e Focusing on SSI’s risk and radiation protection criteria. A report based on discussions in focus groups in Östhammar and Oskarshamn municipalities
The report contains the questions and points of views that emerged in the focus group discussions, from the municipalities participating in site selection investigation, will serve as a basis for the authority’s work of producing general guidelines associated with the regulations (SSI FS 1998:1). An expert group at the authority will answer or comment on the issues raised. Britt-Marie...

2003:14 Exchange processes at geosphere-biosphere interfaceCurrent SKB approach and example of coupled hydrological- ecological approach
The design of the repository for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel proposed by SKB is based on a multi barrier system, in which the geosphere and biosphere are the utmost barrier surrounding the engineer barriers. This report briefly reviews the current approach taken by SKB to account for hydrological and ecological processes at the geosphere-biosphere interface (GBI) and their future...

2003:12 Analysis of Critical Issues in Biosphere Assessment Modelling and Site Investigation
The aim of this document is to present a critical review of issues concerned with the treatment of the biosphere and geosphere-biosphere interface in longterm performance assessment studies for nuclear waste disposal in Sweden. The review covers three main areas of investigation: a review of SKB’s plans for undertaking site investigations at candidate locations for the development of a deep...

2002:14 Review of C-14 inventory for the SFR facility
The Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI) is currently reviewing SKB’s continuing assessment for disposal of radioactive waste to the SFR facility at Forsmark. Among the wastes disposed are reactor operating wastes. Among the relevant radionuclides is C-14, which is relatively difficult to measure and to control because of its mobility. This report documents a review of the C-14...
