2019:02 Research within technical safeguard at Chalmers University of Technology during 2016-2017
Summary The Division of Subatomic and Plasma Physics in Chalmers, formerly the Division of Nuclear Engineering, has performed research in nuclear safeguards and non-proliferation since 2004, with support from SSM and its predecessor, SKI. Due to various organizational and personnel changes in Chalmers, this research was pursued with limited resources and personnel during 2016-06-30 –...

2019:03 Evaluation of the hydrodynamic model in PARET/ANL
Background The fuel rod analysis program SCANAIR has been developed by IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire) for analysis of reactivity initiated accidents (RIA) in light water reactors. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has access to SCANAIR in exchange for annual contributions for its further development. This ensures a possibility for SSM to do...

2014:28 Numerical simulation of ductile crack growth in residual stress fields
The study has shown on the capability of the cell model in capturing the effects on ductile tearing from limited pre-load levels and a residual stress field. Some of the conclusions are as follows: No distinctive influence on the material fracture toughness is observed from pre-loading (work hardening), both tensile and compressive, at room temperature of 1.5 or 3 % total strain. The cell...

2014:18 Evaluation of the Halden IFA-650 loss-of-coolant accident experiments 2, 3 and 4
The analytical tools, which are fuel rod computer codes, that Quantum Technologies AB use and develop, contain models of several of the phenomena that are acting on the nuclear fuel (cladding temperature, fission gas driven pressure, strain and stress in the cladding, rod rupture, etc.) and how the separate effects interact in the complex integrated manner. The codes are under constant...

2014:09 Further Development of the Core Simulator CORE SIM: Extension to coupled capabilities for BWRs
The developed tool is fully MatLab based and requires a set of input data from a commercial static core simulator. The driving perturbation can be specified both as a perturbation in thermo-hydraulic parameters or directly as a perturbation in macroscopic cross-sections. As output, the 3-dimensional spatial distribution of the noise in coolant density, pressure, enthalpy, inlet velocity, fuel...

2016:28 Fatigue fracture surface characterization and investigation
Background In a previous study (SSM research report 2015:38) fatigue experiments were performed on welded austenitic stainless steel piping components. The fatigue experiments offer an opportunity to examine the obtained fatigue cracks with an optical microscope. Objective The present study performs a fractographical examination of the obtained fatigue cracks with the aim of determine where...

2016:31 Measures and method characteristics for early evaluation of safe operation in nuclear power plant control room systems
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) experience is that there is a need to develop evaluation methods in parallel with the development of control rooms in conjunction with construction modifications and other changes. This includes more indepth analysis of the methods used today. Another aspect is that conventional methods of evaluating control rooms and issues need to be...

2016:26 Ensemble for deterministic sampling with positive weights
The aim of this project is to find a reliable method for determining an ensemble for Deterministic Sampling with only positive weights. This report is intended to work as a presentation of the project, as well as to work as a beginner’s guide to DS. In the report several methods for generating DS ensembles are presented, which can encode up to four moments and represent any kind of...

2016:13 Spännarmerade betongkonstruktioner vid kärntekniska anläggningar
Projektet omfattar en litteraturstudie och inventering av byggteknik, dimensionering, degradering och inspektionsmetoder för spännkabelsystem i reaktorinneslutningar och bassängkonstruktioner. Kunskap om spännkabelsystemen är av stor betydelse för bedömning av konstruktionernas täthet och uppfyllande av gällande säkerhetskrav. Patrick Anderson...

2014:52 Beständiga förändringar av säkerhetskulturen
Projektet har genomförts dels som en litteraturstudie och dels som en intervjuserie vid svenska kärnkraftverk. Litteraturstudien resulterade i en beskrivning av viktiga komponenter inom området säkerhetskultur, faktorer som anses möjliggöra eller förhindra att en god säkerhetskultur uppnås samt metoder och arbetssätt för att utveckla och förbättra...
