• 2011:05 Overview and Evaluation of the NESC Projects for Fracture Assessments of Nuclear Components

  The Network for Evaluation of Structural Components (NESC) was started in 1993 and since then six different projects have been carried out. A seventh NESC-project is still in progress. The overall objective of these projects has been to study the reliability of the entire process of structural integrity assessment within an international framework. The network is coordinated by the European...

• 2011:13 Investigation of Discrete-Fracture Network Conceptual Model Uncertainty at Forsmark

  Flow modelling using alternative assumptions regarding conceptual and parametric uncertainty in the spatial and structural relationships among fractures indicates elevated flow rates and groundwater velocities to deposition holes compared to SKB’s flow modelling results. Simulated sampling of fractures in boreholes does not indicate any reason to exclude the proposed spatial and structural...

• 2011:04 Evaluation of the Technical Basis for New Proposals of Fatigue Design of Nuclear Components

  During the recent years fatigue analysis procedures for nuclear components have been investigated. The most common method so far has been the American code ASME III. The basis for the current design procedures in ASME III is quite old and has now been evaluated against modern data leading to the proposal of modified design curves. Also the effect of the environment has been the subject of...

• 2011:30 A fatigue analysis including environmental effects for a pipe system in a Swedish BWR

  The effect of the environment on fatigue design has been the subject of intense study in USA, Japan and elsewhere. Several reports indicate a potentially large influence of the environment, leading to the proposal of entirely new analysis procedures. SSM has in an earlier project sponsored research to evaluate the technical basis for these proposals, see SSM Research Report 2011:04. In the...

• 2010:47 Utveckling av programpaket för analys av termisk utmattning

  I ett tidigare NESC-projekt (Network for Evaluating Structural Components – Thermal Fatigue) togs fram en Europeisk procedur för hantering av termisk utmattning. Den tidigare myndigheten Statens kärnkraftinspektion (SKI) var en av projektets finansiärer. Proceduren innehåller bl.a. utvärdering av en modell för analys av högcykelutmattning vid turbulent termisk...

• 2011:02 The Back-End of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle in Sweden, Considerations for safeguards and data handling

  The report is a compilation report consisting of three papers. A safeguards approach for the planned encapsulation facility and the operating final repository is presented in paper 1. Special considerations concerning safeguards for the final disposal process have been discussed and incorporated into the approach. Paper 2 defines the spent fuel data that must be secured, for safeguards...

• 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...

• 2011:29 Research and Development Program in Reactor Diagnostics and Monitoring with Neutron Noise Methods, Stage 17

  This report constitutes Stage 17 of a long-term research and development program concerning the development of diagnostics and monitoring methods for nuclear reactors. Results up to Stage 16 were reported in SKI and SSM reports, as listed below and in the Summary. The results have also been published in international journals and have been included in both licentiate- and doctor’s degrees.

• 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...

• 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...
