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...

2015:09 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...

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...

2005:61 Review and Assessment of SCC Experiments with RPV Steels in Oskarshamn 2 and 3 (ABB Report SBR 99-020)
Although the extent of cracking was rather surprising for a bolt-loaded specimen, the average stress corrosion crack growth rate of 0.5 mm/year over the five-year testing period does not represent an immediate concern. The overwhelming part of crack growth can have occurred during a 20 day chloride transient during the third year of exposure because of a condenser leakage after an outage. The...

2020:12 Assessment of the QT-COOL coolant channel module against the PBF RIA 1-2 experiment
SSM perspective Background The fuel rod analysis program SCANAIR has been developed by IRSN (Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire) for analysis of reactivity initiated accidents (RIA) in light water reactors. The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has access to SCANAIR in exchange for annual contributions for its further development. This ensures a possibility...

2020:07 Fibre Clogging in Nuclear Power Plants
SSM perspective Background Emergency core cooling systems in boiling- and pressurized water reactors use strainers. Their purpose is to out foreign material suspended in the cooling water so this material does not reach the reactor. After the 1992 event at Barsebäck nuclear power plant when the strainers of the emergency cooling system was clogged due to fibers in the cooling water, all...

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...

2021:02 On Water Induced Sensitization of Ni (Fe,Cr) alloys towards Stress Corrosion Cracking in LWR Piping from 1st Principles Modelling
SSM perspective Background In Swedish Light Water Reactors (LWR), stress corrosion cracking of reactor components and welds occurs from time to time. As the nuclear power plants are ageing, it is essential to study and further understand the mechanism for environmentally induced sensitization. Natural cracking is a phenomenon that is difficult to predict and very hard to study since it occurs...

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...
