2014:19 Evaluation of the Halden IFA-650 loss-of-coolant accident experiments 5, 6 and 7
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...

2015:11 Investigation of the Distribution of Phosphorus in Copper
Two copper alloys containing different amounts of phosphorus, 6 and 80 wtppm, respectively, have been investigated. The matrix of both alloys was analysed using atom probe tomography (APT). The matrix P concentration in the 80 wtppm P mate- rial was about the same as the bulk concentration and it was therefore concluded that the majority of the P atoms resides in the matrix. Grain boundaries...

2014:20 An evaluation of high-temperature creep of zirconium alloys: data versus models
In this report Dr Massih presents correlations for creep in different phases of zirconium alloys and also presents a general solution to the difficulty of accurately describing the material properties in phase transition for several zirconium alloys. Based upon superplasticity relations, models are adapted to fit with experimental data for materials in transition regions. The creep models are...

2015:07 TEM-lamella lift-out from the crack tip region of Alloy 600 for high resolution electron microscopy examination
This report contributes to the development of a method for high-quality TEM lamella preparation from crack tip regions of nuclear materials. A standard compact tension (CT) specimen of Alloy 600 previously tested for stress corrosion crack growth in simulated PWR primary water was used to demonstrate the benefit of the proposed method. This report describes the procedure for cutting the CT...

2014:21 Effects of additives on uranium dioxide fuel behavior
This report will form a basis for the reviews that SSM does when the license holders applies for use of nuclear fuel with additives. The report is also intended as a reference to the models that Quantum Technologies AB has developed. The report and the models will be a valuable source of information for SSM and other parties when discussing the performance of doped fuel. Ali Massih SSM...

2011:20 A Guidebook for Evaluating Organizations in the Nuclear Industry – an example of safety culture evaluation
Organizations in the nuclear industry need to maintain an overview on their vulnerabilities and strengths with respect to safety. Systematic periodical self- assessments are necessary to achieve this overview. This guidebook provides suggestions and examples to assist power companies but also external evaluators and regulators in carrying out organizational evaluations. Organizational...

2011:06 Reliability Data Handbook for Piping Components in Nordic Nuclear Power Plants – R Book, Phase 2
The Nordic PSA Group (NPSAG) has undertaken to develop a piping reliability parameter handbook for use in risk-informed applications that involve the consideration of structural integrity of piping systems. The scope of the handbook is to establish high quality reliability parameters that account for the Nordic and worldwide service experience with safety-related and non-safety-related piping...

2010:36 Guidance for the Definition and Application of Probabilistic Safety Criteria
Safety goals are defined in different ways in different countries and also used differently. Many countries are presently developing them in connection to the transfer to risk-informed regulation of both operating nuclear power plants (NPP) and new designs. However, it is far from self-evident how probabilistic safety criteria should be defined and used. On one hand, experience indicates that...

2011:24 Utredning och kartläggning av tillfällen då människan räddat och förbättrat en situation där automatiken inte räckt till eller fungerat fel
ÅF har genomfört en litteraturstudie och beskrivit en aktuell bild över rådande automations-filosofier och på vilket sätt människan påverkas av olika nivåer av automation. De har även kartlagt och beskrivit tre händelser inom kärnkraftsindustrin där människan ingripit och räddat eller förbättrat en situation där...

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.
