• 2022:08 Geophysical surveys on sub marine land- and rock slides and on alpine glaciers

  SSM perspective Background The future climate evolution and the impact it might have on a repository for radioactive waste is important when assessing the long-term safety. In a project funded by SSM (Holmlund et al. 2016), bathymetric data from the Southern Quark area between Sweden and Åland, provided by the Swedish Maritime Administration, were analysed, as well as terrestrial data from...

• 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...

• 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...

• 2021:05 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...

• 2021:03 Updated radiological risk assessment for the “Radon” type surface disposal facility in Chisinau, Moldova

  SSM perspective Background Bilateral cooperation between Sweden and the Republic of Moldova in nuclear and radiological safety and security has been ongoing since 2010, focusing on activities aimed at strengthening the institutional capacity of the National Agency for Regulation of Nuclear and Radiological Activities in Moldova (NARNRA) as well as infrastructure development in radioactive...

• 2021:02 On Water Induced Sensitization of Ni (Fe,Cr) alloys towards Stress Corrosion Cracking in LWR Piping from 1st Principles Modelling

  SSM perspective Background In Swedish Light Water Reactors (LWR), stress corrosion cracking of reactor components and welds occurs from time to time. As the nuclear power plants are ageing, it is essential to study and further understand the mechanism for environmentally induced sensitization. Natural cracking is a phenomenon that is difficult to predict and very hard to study since it occurs...
