2008:47 Selected Models for Key Processes in a Nuclear Waste Repository
The conceptual design of the disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Sweden is based on a multibarrier system. In the KBS-3 concept, the bentonite buffer is a barrier with the primary purpose of surrounding and protecting the canister. The bentonite buffer is expected to prevent or minimise the water exchange with the surrounding rock and protect the canister against mechanical damages caused by...

2009:08 Shear-induced Fracture Slip and Permeability Change - Implications for Long-term Performance of a Deep Geological Repository
Opening of fractures induced by shear dilation or normal deformation can be a significant source of fracture permeability change in jointed rock, which is important for the performance assessment of geological repositories for spent nuclear fuel. As the repository generates heat and later cools the fluid-carrying ability of the rocks becomes a dynamic variable during the lifespan of the...

2007:30 Modelling the Interaction of Low pH Cements and Bentonite
Concrete and cement are used in constructions as well as in conditioning of waste inrepositories for radioactive waste. It is well known that in the hyperalkaline conditions (pH > 12) of standard cement pore fluids, there is potential for deleterious effects upon the host rock and other EBS materials, notably bentonite, in geological repositories. Low pH cements are beginning to be considered...

2013:09 An Application of the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM) to Risk Assessment of Organisational Change
The objective of this study was to demonstrate an alternative approach to risk assessment of organisational changes, based on the principles of resilience engineering. The approach in question was the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM). Whereas established approaches focus on risks coming from failure or malfunctioning of components, alone or in combination, resilience engineering...

2014:01 Cost Estimating for Decommissioning Nuclear Reactors in Sweden
In Sweden, decommissioning cost estimates are core inputs to the process of calculating licensee contributions to the Swedish national fund for radioactive waste management and decommissioning. Under the present system, the decommissioning cost estimates are produced by licensees every three years and formally submitted to the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM), which reviews the...

2014:27 Regulation applying to welding of pressure equipment – a comparative study
The PED was in force in November 1999 and has been mandatory in European Union Member States since May 2002. Most of the standards referred to in the PED are relatively new although some of the standards were adopted in the early 1990s. On the other hand, the ASME B&PV Code has been used for a long time now and is the result of several decades of industrial experiences. The authors present...

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...

2012:03 The IAEA Integrated Regulatory Review Service Mission to Sweden in February 2012
The Swedish Government decided on January 22, 2009 to mandate the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM, to apply for an international review of the Author-ity and its areas of supervision, an ‘IRRS’ (Integrated Regulatory Review Service) carried out by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). On February 25, 2009, SSM made a formal request to the IAEA for an IRRS in Sweden. The time...

2015:09 PROSIR - Probabilistic Structural Integrity of a PWR Reactor Pressure Vessel
Following an OCDE round robin proposal, 16 participants from 9 countries (USA, Japan, Korea (6 participants), Sweden, Germany, Czech Republic, Spain, EC and France (3 participants)) have been involved in a round robin study called PROSIR, Probabilistic Structural Integrity of a PWR Reactor Pressure Vessel. The PROSIR project started already in 2003 and a final draft version of the main report...

2011:33 Mathematical modelling of ultrasonic testing of components with defects close to a non-planar surface
The report describes work that has been performed in order to model ultrasonic testing of components that contain a defect close to a non-planar surface. The studies have been performed in both 2D and 3D, and in 2D in both the anti-plane (SH) and the in-plane (P-SV). The results show that the presence of a non-planar back wall can reduce the detectability of defects close to the surface. The...
