2021:05 Cladding tube rupture under LOCA: Data and models for rupture opening size
SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) follows the research on fuel performance closely. One aspect that is currently being studied in several research projects is the risk of release of fragmented fuel into the primary coolant in case of an accident. This risk depends on complex conditions were one is the possibility and size of a rupture of the fuel rod...

2021:01 In situ NMR condition monitoring of cable insulations in Nuclear Power Plants
SSM perspective Background As the nuclear power plants are ageing, it is important to verify that every component installed can function safely in the intended environment. Cables are among the most common components in a nuclear power plant and are required to function during normal operation as well as in the event of an accident. There is a need within the nuclear industry for...

2022:15 Strukturer och ledarskap för organisatorisk funktionalitet som främjar säkerheten genom ett kärnkraftverks olika faser och övergångarna däremellan
SSM perspektiv Bakgrund Kärnkraftsindustrin står inför en rad utmaningar framöver, exempelvis avseende åldrande reaktorer, generationsskifte i personalstyrkan, bristande kompetensåterväxt, politiska beslut och konkurrens från andra energislag. Två svenska anläggningar står dessutom inför utmaningen att avveckla delar av verksamheten samtidigt...

2017:21 Neutronfluensberäkningar för surveillance provning
Sammanfattning Bestrålning av reaktortankens material med snabba neutroner leder till förändringar i materialets egenskaper så att det försprödas. De förändrade materialegenskaperna utgör en av de viktigaste orsakerna till att reaktortankens livslängd är begränsad. Att kunna beräkna det totala neutronflödet som reaktortanken...

2022:03 Effect of Neutron Irradiation on the Oxidation and Corrosion of Austenitic Stainless Steels
SSM perspective Background Reactor pressure vessel internal components of austenitic stainless steel located close to the core are subject to a high neutron flux. Irradiation by fast neutrons induces changes in the material that affect microstructure, mechanical properties and microchemistry. These changes eventually lead to an increased susceptibility to irradiation assisted stress corrosion...

2017:09 Evaluation of the Swedish participation in the Nordic Nuclear Safety Research (NKS) collaboration
Background NKS is a Nordic collaboration promoting cooperation on nuclear safety and emergency preparedness research. The research program is primarily funded by Nordic radiation safety authorities and responsible ministries. The main purpose of NKS is to finance joint Nordic activities and initiatives, including seminars and workshops, technical reports, exercises and scientific articles.

2017:22 Effect of weld repairs on residual stresses in nickel base dissimilar metal welds
Background The driving force for crack growth near welds in nuclear application piping may arise from weld residual stresses. Experience from nondestructive examination show that cracks in dissimilar metal welds are often found near weld repairs. The repair welding may affect the residual stresses through e.g. increased tensile stresses and increased plastic straining on the surfaces of the...

2017:07 Dimensionering av nukleära byggnadskonstruktioner (DNB)
Bakgrund Strålsäkerhetsmyndigheten (SSM) och de svenska tillståndshavarna har tidigare i ett samfinansierat forskningsprojekt tagit fram anvisningar för dimensionering av nukleära byggnadskonstruktioner, DNB. Rapporten som är baserad på Eurokoderna publicerades som SSM rapport 2014:06. DNB har sedan dess genomgått en generell uppdatering och publicerades...

2017:12 Computational assessment of LOCA simulation tests on high burnup fuel rods in Halden and Studsvik
Background Loss of Coolant Accidents (LOCA) are among the most demanding accidents that can happen in a Light Water Reactor (LWR). The lack of cooling and the drop in pressure impose large stresses on the nuclear fuel which would increase the risk of fuel rod damage and the subsequent release of active material. But LOCA is also an accident that the nuclear power plant is designed to...

2017:05 Robust structural verification of pressurized nuclear components subjected to ratcheting, part two – stress-strain curves for cyclic elastoplastic analysis.
Background Pressurized components in nuclear applications that are subjected to cyclic loading may exhibit progressive deformation, so called structural ratcheting. If the component is made out of a material that are deformation hardening, it may also exhibit material ratcheting. The combined effects of structural- and material ratcheting are not taken into account in the methods and material...
