• 2011:16 Modelling of ultrasonic testing of cracks in cladding

  During the last two decades, SSM has supported research to develop a model for the non-destructive test situation based on ultrasonic technique. Such a model is important in many ways, for example to supplement and plan experimental studies and to perform parametric studies in qualification situation. Modeling can be a useful tool when the inspection system shall be technically justified.

• 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...

• 2011:02 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...

• 2011:17 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...

• 2010:46 Development of the PRO-LOCA Probabilistic Fracture Mechanics Code, MERIT Final Report

  The MERIT project has been an internationally financed program with the main purpose of developing probabilistic models for piping failure of nuclear components and to include these models in a probabilistic code named PRO-LOCA. The principal objective of the project has been to develop probabilistic models for piping failure of nuclear components and to include these models in a...

• 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.

• 2011:33 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...

• 2011:26 The influence of temperature and fluid pressure on the fracture network evolution around deposition holes of a KBS-3V concept at Forsmark, Sweden

  In preparation for the review of SKB’s license application for disposal of spent nuclear fuel, SSM is conducting studies to evaluate the performance of the multi-barrier principle on which the KBS-3 concept is based. Copper canisters containing the spent nuclear fuel are placed into granitic bedrock at about 500 m depth and embedded in clay. Thus, the rock, the clay and the copper canister...

• 2011:12 Analysis of Barrier Performance: Modelling of Copper corrosion scenarios with and without buffer erosion

  The purpose of this project was to develop a numerical modelling capacity to address the corrosion of the copper canister under gradually changing transport conditions caused by buffer erosion and removal of buffer mass. Due to the complexity of this task, such a model cannot be realistic in all respects, but the present effort should address the feasibility of solving numerical and...
