  • 2017:11 Extended Common Load Model: A tool for dependent failure modelling in highly redundant structures

    Background The treatment of dependent failures is one of the most controversial subjects in reliability and risk analyses. The difficulties are specially underlined in the case of highly redundant systems, when the number of redundant components or trains exceeds four. The Common Load Model (CLM), originally defined in the 70’ies, differs from other CCF models, as it relies on a specific...

  • This is how ESS works

    The European Spallation Source, or ESS research facility, comprises a neutron source that could be described as an enormous microscope for examining molecular structures. The facility will make it possible to study materials in their smallest components and is consequently useful in materials research in diverse fields such as medicine, biology, chemistry, physics and engineering.

  • 2017:15 Radionuclide release rates associated with bounding cases featuring relatively early canister failures in a spent fuel repository

    Background In 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) submitted a license application for construction of a geological repository for spent nuclear fuel according to the KBS-3 method, comprising of copper canisters, bentonite buffer, backfill and surrounding crystalline bedrock. The post-closure safety assessment of the repository, SR-Site, has been reviewed by the Swedish...

  • 2017:30 SSM’s external experts’ review of SKB’s safety assessment SR-PSU – consequence analysis

    Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) received an application for the expansion of SKB's final repository for low and intermediate level waste at Forsmark (SFR) on the 19 December 2014. SSM is tasked with the review of the application and will issue a statement to the government who will decide on the matter. An important part of the application is SKB’s assessment of...
