2011:25 Report from SSM’s scientific council on ionizing radiation within oncology, 2010
In this report, three main areas have been highlighted: quality assurance (QA), quality control (QC) and late side-effects including the risk of radiation-induced secondary malignancies. These areas reflect the ongoing activities in leading international radiotherapy organisations. Specific attention is given to new technologies such as image-guided radiotherapy and intensity-modulated...

2011:24 Utredning och kartläggning av tillfällen då människan räddat och förbättrat en situation där automatiken inte räckt till eller fungerat fel
ÅF har genomfört en litteraturstudie och beskrivit en aktuell bild över rådande automations-filosofier och på vilket sätt människan påverkas av olika nivåer av automation. De har även kartlagt och beskrivit tre händelser inom kärnkraftsindustrin där människan ingripit och räddat eller förbättrat en situation där...

2011:22 Infiltration of dilute groundwaters and resulting groundwater compositions at repository depth
The planned Swedish concept for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel includes copper canisters placed in deposition holes at about 500 m depth in granitic bedrock. The copper canisters will be surrounded by bentonite buffer with the objective of inhibiting groundwater flow adjacent to the canister. It has been discovered that dilute glacial melt-water may induce erosion of the buffer material.

2011:21 Workshop on spent fuel performance and radionuclide chemistry -Rånäs 2010: Assessment of some outstanding issues
The safety assessment for final disposal of spent nuclear fuel has to comprehensively address the stage when containment barriers have failed and when radionuclide releases occur to the surrounding groundwater at repository depth. Essential processes for estimating risk/dose related to this scenario involve the release of radionuclide from the spent fuel surfaces due to radio-lytic oxidative...

2011:20 A Guidebook for Evaluating Organizations in the Nuclear Industry – an example of safety culture evaluation
Organizations in the nuclear industry need to maintain an overview on their vulnerabilities and strengths with respect to safety. Systematic periodical self- assessments are necessary to achieve this overview. This guidebook provides suggestions and examples to assist power companies but also external evaluators and regulators in carrying out organizational evaluations. Organizational...

2011:19 Experimental evaluation of influence from residual stresses on crack initiation and ductile crack growth at high primary loads
Cracked components are usually subjected to loads causing both primary and secondary stresses, e.g. welding components. Engineering assessment approaches, such as the ASME XI code and the R6 procedure, are commonly used to conduct integrity assessment of such components. There has been an ongoing debate how to treat secondary stresses using engineering assessment methods. The nature of these...

2011:17 Structural Health Monitoring of Piping in Nuclear Power Plants – A Review of Efficiency of Existing Methods
SSM needs to acquire knowledge about new applied Non-Destructive Engineering (NDE) techniques and their efficiency. One area that is discussed more frequently is Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SSM needs to investigate the international experiences of SHM from the nuclear industry. SSM also wants to have more information about the capabilities and the limitations of NDE methods The first...

2010:36 Guidance for the Definition and Application of Probabilistic Safety Criteria
Safety goals are defined in different ways in different countries and also used differently. Many countries are presently developing them in connection to the transfer to risk-informed regulation of both operating nuclear power plants (NPP) and new designs. However, it is far from self-evident how probabilistic safety criteria should be defined and used. On one hand, experience indicates that...
