• 2020:02 Models for axial gas flow and mixing in LWR fuel rods

  SSM perspective Background Fission gases inside a fuel rod plays an important role in the behaviour of the fuel, both during normal operation and during events and accidents. Fission gases are released from inside the fuel pellets to the gap between the pellet and the cladding tube and then flow to the plenum volume at the top of the fuel rod. In high burnup fuel, this axial flow to the...

• 2019:13 Organisatoriska risker avseende strålsäkerhet i ekonomiskt pressade lägen

  SSM perspektiv Bakgrund Kärnkraftsbranschen befinner sig i en ekonomiskt pressad situation. Höjda säkerhetskrav, åldrade anläggningar som kräver mer underhåll och låga elpriser leder till att resursanvändningen måste maximeras. Stora projekt pågår hos tillståndshavarna i syfte att effektivisera organisationerna. Nedskärningar...

• 2015:13 Samband mellan anrikning av uran och andra ämnen – en studie från ett icke-spridningsperspektiv

  Även om anrikning av uran inte är strikt nödvändigt för att producera kärnvapen har alla kända kärnvapenprogram innehållit anrikning i någon form. Den utrustning som behövs för anrikning av uran är exportkontrollerad och den svenska lagstiftningen kräver tillstånd för export av all utrustning och teknik som är...

• 2013:07 Corrosion of copper in distilled water without molecular oxygen and the detection of produced hydrogen

  In this report, results are presented for copper which has been exposed to pure anoxic water in the temperature interval of 21 °C to 55 °C up to a total of 19 000 hours. Characterisations of copper surfaces after exposure have been performed ex-situ, meaning after termination of the experiment and exposing the specimen to normal atmospheric environment. Ideally characterisation of surfaces...

• 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...

• 2011:11 Handling Interfaces and Time-varying Properties in Radionuclide Transport Models

  Quintessa’s QPAC code has been used to investigate the Qeq approach. The conclusions from this simulation study are the following. The basic approach to calculating Qeq values is sound, however, narrow channels could lead to the same release as larger fractures with the same pore velocity, so a channel enhancement factor of √10 should be considered. A spalling zone that increases the area of...

• 2010:40 Rock-block characterization on regional to local scales for two SKB sites in Forsmark – Uppland and Laxemar – eastern Småland, south-eastern Sweden

  To get an overall impression of the general structural setting of a landscape, a remote study of bedrock structures should include studies of the geomorphology at various scales. Thematic maps improve the general understanding of an area. Digital elevation data in 500m, 50m and 10m grids were used for rock-block interpretations at regional, semi-regional and local scales of areas around the...

• 2010:38 The feasibility of Backfilling a Repository of Spent Fuel: An Assessment of Recent Developments by SKB

  In the Review Statement and Evaluation of SKB’s RD & D programme 2007 (SKI Report 2008:48E), the former Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI) commented that considerable work remained to be done for knowledge of both practical management issues on backfilling and analysis of long-term backfill evolution to reach the same level as for the canister and the buffer. SKI considered that the...

• 2010:34 The understanding of the formation of valleys and its implication on site characterization: Moredalen and Pukedalen, south-eastern Sweden

  This report concerns a study which was initially conducted for the Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate (SKI), which is now merged into the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM). The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SSM. In south-eastern Sweden, there are a number of over-deepened narrow valleys,...

• 2009:32 On Younger Stakeholders and Decommissioning of Nuclear Facilities

  An appropriate balance in this regard must be based on a proper understanding of the values and value functions of younger citizens. Such information must thus be an integral part of the knowledge base to be used when plans and processes are being developed for dismantling and decommissioning of nuclear power plants and other older nuclear facilities. In the present project, empirical data...
