SSMFS English
About the regulations in English Some of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s regulations (SSMFS) are available in English. The translations are unofficial versions of the Authority’s regulations. In the event of any discrepancy between the Swedish and English versions, the Swedish original will take precedence. The Authority's regulations in Swedish...

Licences for nuclear facilities
A licence is required to build, possess or operate a nuclear facility. Licensees must apply for a new licence if they make modifications that are beyond the scope of their current licence. This page contains information about the licensing process and how to apply for a licence.

Final repository for radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel
One of the duties of the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority is to review the final disposal applications submitted to the Authority by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB). We review the applications with reference to the Swedish Act on Nuclear Activities and against our regulations, and issue pronouncements to the Swedish Government, which then makes licensing decisions.

2022:08 Geophysical surveys on sub marine land- and rock slides and on alpine glaciers
SSM perspective Background The future climate evolution and the impact it might have on a repository for radioactive waste is important when assessing the long-term safety. In a project funded by SSM (Holmlund et al. 2016), bathymetric data from the Southern Quark area between Sweden and Åland, provided by the Swedish Maritime Administration, were analysed, as well as terrestrial data from...

2022:03 Effect of Neutron Irradiation on the Oxidation and Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steels
SSM perspective Background Reactor pressure vessel internal components of austenitic stainless steel located close to the core are subject to a high neutron flux. Irradiation by fast neutrons induces changes in the material that affect microstructure, mechanical properties and microchemistry. These changes eventually lead to an increased susceptibility to irradiation assisted stress corrosion...

2017:05 Robust structural verification of pressurized nuclear components subjected to ratcheting, part two – stress-strain curves for cyclic elastoplastic analysis.
Background Pressurized components in nuclear applications that are subjected to cyclic loading may exhibit progressive deformation, so called structural ratcheting. If the component is made out of a material that are deformation hardening, it may also exhibit material ratcheting. The combined effects of structural- and material ratcheting are not taken into account in the methods and material...
