• 2021:28 Analysis of Radon Levels in Swedish Dwellings and Workplaces

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund Exponering för radon anses vara den viktigaste orsaken till lungcancer näst efter rökning och beräknas orsaka omkring 500 lungcancerfall årligen i Sverige. Därför är det viktigt att sänka radonhalten i inomhusluften, speciellt om nivån överstiger referensnivån 200 Bq/m³. För att kunna uppdatera beräkningar...

• 2021:21 Region-specific radioecological evaluation of accidental releases of radionuclides from ESS

  SSM perspective Background To strengthen the material science research in Europe, the European Spallation Source (ESS) is being built in Lund in the southern part of Sweden. In the spallation process, neutrons are generated when the accelerated protons hit the tungsten target. In addition, a broad range of radioactive by-products are produced that differs from the fission products produced...

• 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...

• 2021:14 Reliability, Feasibility and Significance of Measurements of Conductivity and Transmissivity of the Rock Mass for the Understanding of the Evolution of a Repository of Radioactive Waste

  SSM perspective Background The conducted research was part of the international research project DECOVALEX 2019 (DEvelopment of COupled models and their VALidation against EXperiments). DECOVALEX 2019 consisted of seven different research projects called Task A to G. SSM were involved in Task G, which were composed of three different teams from Technical University of Liberec (TUL),...

• 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...

• 2021:09 Mechanisms important for material modelling in weld residual stress analysis

  SSM perspective Background The prediction of weld residual stresses (WRS) is very complex as many mechanisms and phenomena influence the development of WRS during welding. For accurate prediction, the constitutive material models used are essential and must be able to describe the material response of the weldment constituents. For example, selection of a material model should only depend...

• 2021:08 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risk

  SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) Scientifc Council on Electromagnetic Fields monitors current research on potential health risks in relation to exposure to electromagnetic fields and provides the authority with advice on assessing possible health risks. The Council gives guidance when the authority must give an opinion on policy matters when...

• 2021:06 Quality Assurance Review of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company’s LOT Experiment (Phase S2 and A3) at the Äspö Facility in Sweden

  SSM perspective Background This report presents a quality assurance (QA) review of the work done by SKB to retrieve the S2 and A3 parcels from the Long term test of buffer material (the LOT experiment) at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory. Each LOT parcel comprises a heated copper tube surrounded by bentonite, with a number of copper coupons and various other test and monitoring instruments...

• 2021:05 Cladding tube rupture under LOCA: Data and models for rupture opening size

  SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) follows the research on fuel performance closely. One aspect that is currently being studied in several research projects is the risk of release of fragmented fuel into the primary coolant in case of an accident. This risk depends on complex conditions were one is the possibility and size of a rupture of the fuel rod...

• 2021:04 Calibration of models for cladding tube high-temperature creep and rupture in the FRAPTRAN-QT-1.5 program

  SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) follows the research on fuel performance closely. One aspect that is currently being studied in several research projects is the risk of release of fragmented fuel into the primary coolant in case of an accident. This risk depends on complex conditions where one is the possibility and size of a rupture of the fuel rod...
