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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

2018:12 Upparbetning av använt kärnbränsle med icke-vätskebaserade metoder
Bakgrund Sverige har en exportlagstiftning för kontroll av utförsel av speciellt känslig utrustning som kan användas för bl.a. tillverkning av kärnvapen. Syftet är att förhindra att någon stat eller organisation införskaffar sådana vapen. Utrustningen det är frågan om har ofta en legitim användning i civil industri men kan ha...

2018:11 Bedömning av spännkraftförluster genom deformationsmätning av reaktorinneslutningen vid uppstart – DEFORM
Bakgrund Den strukturella integriteten av reaktorinneslutningen är beroende av spännarmeringens spännkraft. Spännkraften minskar med tiden genom bl.a. omlagring till själva betongen. I byggnormen finns standardformler som beaktar dessa förluster men lite kunskap finns gällande hur inneslutningens unika geometri och miljö har för inverkan på spännkraftsförlusterna.

2010:16 Guidance to Risk-Informed Evaluation of Technical Specifications using PSA
No guidance documents for risk-informed analysis and assessment of changes in Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO:s) in TS (Technical Specifications) have been available in the Nordic countries. In the U.S. several guidance documents, primarily developed by the owners groups for PWRs and BWRs, exist. Guidance for analysis of TS changes in this report generally follows the U.S. Regulatory...

2010:42 Using the EPRI Risk-Informed ISI Methodology on Piping Systems in Forsmark 3
In the SSM regulation SSMFS 2008:13, it is stated that the selection of locations for inspection of mechanical components shall be based upon the risk for core damage or the risk of release of radioactive substances. Both qualitative and quantitative measures of the relative risk are allowed to be used. So far only the PWRs in Sweden are using a quantitative procedure to evaluate the risk...
