A step-wise review
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) prepares licence applications under the Swedish Act on Nuclear Activities to construct, possess and operate nuclear facilities. In our preparatory work, we assess whether applications meet our radiation safety requirements.

Physical protection
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority imposes requirements for the physical protection of nuclear facilities and transports, for example protection against attacks and thefts of nuclear material. We monitor and check that the nuclear power industry complies with these requirements. We also help to ensure interaction between man, technology and organisation in a way so that physical...

Radiation protection for personnel
Licensees of Swedish nuclear power plants are responsible for ensuring that no one is exposed to radiation levels that cause injury. The licensees must also guarantee that all workers at the facilities are exposed to as little radiation as possible viewed over an extended period of time. This implies that the level of safety must be high enough so that no accidents occur exposing the personnel...

Decommissioning
When the operator of a nuclear facility (i.e. the licence holder) is to decommission the facility, this must be done in a way that protects people and the environment from radioactivity in the facility. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority issues regulations governing the planning and undertaking of dismantling activities; what’s more, the Authority performs checks to ensure that the...

2017:02 Slow strain rate testing of copper in sulfide rich chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90 °C
Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can occur in materials from the combined influence of tensile stress and a corrosive environment. It has previously been shown in the literature, that copper can be sensitive to SCC in the presence of sulfide containing water. Since both tensile stresses are present as well as a material were SCC can occur, SCC could potentially be a problem for the...
