2017:20 Assessment of inertia effects on transient clad-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents
In this report, simple hydrodynamic models are used for studying the effects of coolant inertia on fuel-to-coolant heat transfer and coolant flow under reactivity initiated accidents in light water reactors. The objective is to assess if the inertia effects are important enough to warrant modification of QT-COOL, a coolant channel module for two-phase flow that has recently been implemented as...

2017:16 Stress intensity factor solutions for circumferential cracks in cylindrical bars under axisymmetric loading and global bending
Background The case of a circumferential crack in a cylindrical bar has not been available in the ProSACC code. The need for such a geometry, especially considering nonlinear axisymmetric loading and global bending, has motivated the development of new stress intensity factor solutions, also known as K-solutions. These new K-solutions will be available in ISAAC, the successor to ProSACC.

2017:29 Evaluation of the simulation software CIVA for qualification purpose
Background Modeling is an important tool within NDT, partly to develop and optimize testing technologies, but also within the Qualification Body’s activities to assess technical verifications and perform parameter studies. SSM has supported university research in the area for many years and, among other things, in the development of a software for ultrasound modeling. In addition, the...

2017:32 COMRAD – Comprehensive investigation of the performance of computed and digital radiography
Background Within the industry, there has long been a need to replace the traditional X-ray film and its handling. These both for economic and environmental considerations. Both computed radiography and digital radiography offer many advantages over the traditional use of x-ray with film. However, the transition from film-based radiography requires in-depth knowledge of the relationship...

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...

2016:04 Uncertainty assessment of the SCANAIR V_7_5 computer program in analyses of BWR reactivity initiated accidents
In this work, we assess uncertainties that can be expected in computational analyses of boiling water reactor reactivity initiated accidents with the SCANAIR V_7_5 computer program. The work is intended to supplement a similar uncertainty assessment, focussed on pressurized water reactor accidents, which is currently being organized as an international benchmark exercise by the OECD Nuclear...

2016:37 PARTRIDGE project: Review and evaluation of the probabilistic fracture mechanics code PRO-LOCA
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and the Swedish nuclear power plant owners have financed Inspecta Technology in Sweden to evaluate the PRO-LOCA code. It is a computer code, developed by Battelle in the USA, in which the leak- and rupture probabilities of piping in nuclear power plants are analysed. The pipe systems may contain the damage mechanisms fatigue and/or...
