2024:10 Computational analysis of high-burnup fuel rod behaviour in PWR large-break LOCA
SSM perspective Background Quantum Technologies AB (QT) has for many years developed computational models for the thermomechanical behaviour of nuclear fuel in events such as LOCA and RIA. The research projects have been based on evaluations of tests on nuclear fuel in Halden Reactor Project (HRP) and Studsvik Cladding Integrity Project (SCIP). The models developed by QT enable analyses and...

2024:06 In search of lost storms: or can one infer the magnitudes of extremely rare flood events from short observational records?
SSM perspektiv Bakgrund Kärnkraftverken, övriga kärntekniska anläggningar och andra verksamheter som acceleratorerna ESS och MAX IV ska kunna motstå yttre händelser, såsom väderfenomen, i sådan omfattning att säkerhetssystemens förmåga att utföra sina uppgifter inte äventyras. Fukushima-olyckan i Japan 2011 är ett exempel...

2023:13 TPR 2023 Fire Protection Swedish National Assessment Report
Executive Summary The European Union’s Nuclear Safety Directive 2014/87/EURATOM (NSD) requires the member states to undertake topical peer reviews (TPR) every 6 years. The first topical peer review concerned Ageing management and started in 2017. The member states, acting through the European Nuclear Safety Regulators Group (ENSREG), decided that the topic for the second topical peer review...

2022:14 Weld residual stress and strain measurements on a mock-up with single layer strip cladding common in reactor pressure vessels
SSM perspektiv Bakgrund Reaktortryckkärl tillverkas vanligtvis av låglegerade ferritiska stål som på insidan beläggs med ett eller flera lager av rostfritt stål, så kallad plätering eller på engelska cladding. Den rostfria pläteringen påverkar den strukturella integriteten på flera sätt, dels har pläteringen annorlunda materialegenskaper...

2022:09 Assessment of modelling approaches for axial gas flow inside LWR fuel rods
SSM perspective Background The fuel rod analysis program SCANAIR has been developed by IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire) for analysis of reactivity initiated accidents (RIA) in light water reactors. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has access to SCANAIR in exchange for annual contributions for its further development. The development...

2022:04 Warm Pre-Stressing mechanisms
SSM perspective Background Swedish nuclear power plants (NPP) were originally designed and analyzed with an assumed operating period of approximately 40 years. As Swedish NPPs reach their original technical design life the safety of the additional operating time has to be verified. With increased operating time, the shift in the fracture toughness curve of the reactor pressure vessel (RPV)...

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...

2021:20 Effects of additives on UO2 fuel behavior: expanded edition
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) follows the development of nuclear fuel closely. Fuel with additives like chromia and gadolinia is used in Swedish reactors and fuel with even better thermal and mechanical properties is under development. This project is an in-depth study of data and models regarding the impact of additives on the properties of uranium...

2021:10 Establishment and use of attention values in environmental fatigue assessments
SSM perspective Background As Swedish NPPs reach their original technical design life, re-assessment of the fatigue life of structural components is needed for safe long term operation (LTO). In these re-assessments one must consider that new knowledge has shown that environmental effects on fatigue life must be considered. One common method to verify the fatigue life of structural components...
