2026:06 A Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) Taxonomy for Small Modular Reactors (SMR) – Part 1 of 2: Mapping the SMR landscape
SSM perspective Background Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are typically presented as a solution for safe and reliable energy, requiring less time to construct than the traditional large reactors. The inherent safety features, higher levels of automation and increased reliance on passive safety are often held as reasons for fewer operators being needed in the daily operations and for handling...

2026:08e Food contamination from fallout following a nuclear explosion
Summary After a nuclear explosion, small particles may be dispersed as fallout over large areas and cause radioactive ground deposition. Radiation doses may be received from the fallout in several ways. One such exposure pathway is the ingestion of foodstuffs contaminated by the fallout, either directly or through agricultural production in areas with ground deposition. The Swedish Radiation...

Microwave drying
Microwave drying is becoming more and more common for repairs of moisture and water damage in apartment buildings. It is much faster to dry moist flooring and walls made out of concrete by using microwaves than compared with ordinary construction fans. If microwaves in connection with microwave drying are used incorrectly, they may cause injury. This is why the Swedish Radiation Safety...
