• 2020:16 Estimates ofJ-integral and COD for circumferential through wall cracks under global bending including the effect of pipe end restraint

  SSM perspective Background Leak-before-break (LBB) piping assessments have shown that piping systems can withstand long through-wall cracks before pipe rupture is expected. This is somewhat because pipe ends are restrained. In LBB assessments analyses are often performed for a pipe segment uncoupled from the piping system, as pipe ends are assumed unrestrained. This assumption is conservative...

• 2020:07 Fibre Clogging in Nuclear Power Plants

  SSM perspective Background Emergency core cooling systems in boiling- and pressurized water reactors use strainers. Their purpose is to out foreign material suspended in the cooling water so this material does not reach the reactor. After the 1992 event at Barsebäck nuclear power plant when the strainers of the emergency cooling system was clogged due to fibers in the cooling water, all...

• 2020:02 Models for axial gas flow and mixing in LWR fuel rods

  SSM perspective Background Fission gases inside a fuel rod plays an important role in the behaviour of the fuel, both during normal operation and during events and accidents. Fission gases are released from inside the fuel pellets to the gap between the pellet and the cladding tube and then flow to the plenum volume at the top of the fuel rod. In high burnup fuel, this axial flow to the...
