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...

2016:37 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...

2015:20 The effects of mild, acute hypoxia on cognitive performance
Room air with reduced oxygen levels that prevent materials to ignite and combust is a cost-effective and increasingly popular fire prevention method. For system safety reasons, the effects of hypoxia, that is, the lack of sufficient oxygen (that is, less than 21% oxygen which is the approximate oxygen level of normal air), on cognitive performance of persons working under such conditions are...

2015:12 Interkristallin spänningskorrosion i rostfritt stål i BWR-miljö
Interkristallin spänningskorrosion (IGSCC) har varit ett problem för kokvattenreaktorer (BWR) sedan 1960-talet, då sprickor påträffades i komponenter av sensibiliserat austenitiskt rostfritt stål. Det var dock först under tidigt 1970-tal, i samband med att omfattande interkristallin sprickning upptäcktes i den värmepåverkade zonen (HAZ) invid svetsar...

2015:10 SafePhase: Safety culture challenges in design, construction, installation and commissioning phases of large nuclear power projects
Different lifecycle phases of a nuclear power plant present new human-technology- organization challenges to regulators and licensees. Organizational processes and practices that have evolved in one phase of development might be dysfunctional for the next phase, and the definition of “good safety culture” in practice might be unclear. The objective of the SafePhase study is to improve the...

2015:03 Brottmekaniska K-lösningar för sprickor i massiv stång med icke-linjärt rotationssymmetriskt spänningstillstånd
Nya K-lösningar är framtagna för 0,0 ≤ a/R ≤ 1,0 och 0,0 ≤ a/b ≤ 1,0 där a är sprickdjupet, b är spricklängdsparameter och R är stångens radie. Lösningarna inkluderar utöver global membranlast och böjlast även rotationssymmetriska spänningsfält upp till och med femte ordningen. Anpassning av ett andragradspolynom utmed...

2014:28 Numerical simulation of ductile crack growth in residual stress fields
The study has shown on the capability of the cell model in capturing the effects on ductile tearing from limited pre-load levels and a residual stress field. Some of the conclusions are as follows: No distinctive influence on the material fracture toughness is observed from pre-loading (work hardening), both tensile and compressive, at room temperature of 1.5 or 3 % total strain. The cell...

2014:18 Evaluation of the Halden IFA-650 loss-of-coolant accident experiments 2, 3 and 4
The analytical tools, which are fuel rod computer codes, that Quantum Technologies AB use and develop, contain models of several of the phenomena that are acting on the nuclear fuel (cladding temperature, fission gas driven pressure, strain and stress in the cladding, rod rupture, etc.) and how the separate effects interact in the complex integrated manner. The codes are under constant...

2012:07 Implementation of the Master Curve method in ProSACC
Cleavage fracture toughness data display normally large amount of statistical scatter in the transition region. The cleavage toughness data in this region is specimen size-dependent, and should be treated statistically rather than deterministically. The Master Curve (MC) methodology is a procedure for mechanical testing and statistical analysis of fracture toughness of ferritic steels in the...

2019:15 3D Thermo-Mechanical Coupled Modelling of Thermo-Seismic Response of a Fractured Rock Mass related to the Final Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and Nuclear Waste in Hard Rock
SSM perspective Background When assessing the long-term safety of a repository for spent nuclear fuel it is important to consider future earthquakes. Previous studies by Yoon et al. (2014, SSM Report 2014:59) and (2016, SSM Report 2016:23) investigated the fracture responses due to heat and earthquakes at major deformation zones using a 2D thermo-mechanical coupled model that uses a Particle...
