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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
