2018:09 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risk, Twelfth report from SSM's Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2017
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority's (SSM) Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields monitors current research on potential health risks with a correlation to exposure to electromagnetic fields, and provides the Authority with advice on assessing possible health risks. The Council gives guidance when the Authority must give an opinion on policy matters when scientific testing...

2018:25 UO2 fuel oxidation and fission gas release
Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) follows the research on fuel performance closely. One aspect that has been the main question of several research projects is the fragmentation of fuel pellets during abnormal heat up. In this project the oxidation of UO2 is scrutinized and its effect on pellet fragmentation, fission gas release and damage of fuel rods has been...

2011:09 Is Copper Immune to Corrosion When in Contact With Water and Aqueous Solutions?
The KBS-3concept implies that spent nuclear fuel is placed in copper canisters surrounded by clay and finally placed approximately 500 m down from surface into granitic bedrock, in order to isolate the spent nuclear fuel from humans and environment for very long time scales (i.e. millions of years). The concept is based on the multi-barrier principle, in this respect the barriers are the...

2011:08 Workshop on Copper Corrosion and Buffer Erosion Stockholm 15-17 September 2010
In SSM:s preparation for reviewing SKB:s license application for disposal of spent nuclear fuel, a series of technical workshops have been conducted. The main purpose of this type of workshops is to get an overall understanding of the state of knowledge on interdisciplinary issues as well as of questions in the research front by inviting several experts. Previous workshops have addressed the...

2011:03 On Decommissioning Cost for Nuclear Power Plants
This research report summarizes what has changed over the latest 15 years concerning actual and estimated costs for the D&D of nuclear power plants that have been shut down permanently. It also reports on the availability of detailed information for actual nuclear power plant D&D cost breakdowns. The results will be one supporting document in the review of the estimates submitted for...

2017:15 Radionuclide release rates associated with bounding cases featuring relatively early canister failures in a spent fuel repository
Background In 2011 the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co (SKB) submitted a license application for construction of a geological repository for spent nuclear fuel according to the KBS-3 method, comprising of copper canisters, bentonite buffer, backfill and surrounding crystalline bedrock. The post-closure safety assessment of the repository, SR-Site, has been reviewed by the Swedish...

2017:14 Kriterier för klinisk revision av strålbehandling
Bakgrund I rådets direktiv 2013/59/Euratom definieras klinisk revision som systematisk utvärdering av medicinska radiologiska förfaranden i syfte att förbättra kvaliteten och resultaten i patientvården genom strukturerad översyn, varigenom medicinska radiologiska verksamheter, förfaranden och resultat granskas mot vedertagna normer för goda medicinska...

2017:13 Monte Carlo patient-specific pre-treatment QA system for volumetric modulated arc therapy
Background The clinical use of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) has augmented rapidly since it became commercially available. As a result, the need for comprehensive quality assurance (QA) has increased. Current practices in Sweden normally compare the delivered dose with the planned dose based on measurements with different methods, for instance: portal dosimetry, point dose...

2018:21 Research on Resaturation of Bentonite Buffer
Background Resaturation processes in the bentonite buffer in a KBS-3 type repository for spent nuclear fuel are complicated and are often illustrated, analysed and modelled multi-disciplinarily as coupled thermal (T), hydrological (H) and mechanical (M) processes with multi-phase flow, elastoplastic evolution in a swelling porous medium. Previous THM-modelling showed that the re-saturation...

2018:01 Monte Carlo patient-specific pre-treatment QA system for volumetric modulated arc therapy
Background According to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority's Regulations in Radiotherapy (SSMFS 2008:33) are Swedish clinics required to verify the individual dose to patients, prior the first time a new treatment is given. To fulfil this requirement, current clinics perform in-vivo dosimetry in three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT), which means that the entrance of...
