2013:29 Regulatory Approaches in Nuclear Power Supervision
The objective of this follow-up study was to support SSM in further understanding regulatory approaches and how they can be combined as part of effective strategies. The survey was intended to assist SSM in identifying current standards, experiences, and practices in the regulation of nuclear power plants. The results will also be valuable for the participating authorities as well as other...

2013:24 Modelling of nuclear fuel cladding under loss-of-coolant accident conditions
We present a unified model for calculation of zirconium alloy fuel cladding rupture during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident in light water reactors. The model treats the Zr alloy solid-to-solid phase transformation kinetics, cladding creep deformation, oxidation and rupture as a function of temperature and time in an integrated fashion during the transient. The fuel cladding material...

2012:12 APRI-7 Accident Phenomena of Risk Importance. En lägesrapport om forskningen inom området svåra haverier under åren 2009-2011
Kunskap om de fenomen som kan uppträda vid svåra haverier i en kärnkraftanläggning är en viktig förutsättning för att kunna förutse anläggningens beteende, för att kunna utforma rutiner och instruktioner för haverihantering, för beredskapsplaneringen samt för att få god kvalitet på haverianalyser och riskstudier. Sedan...

2013:01 Validation of Weld Residual Stress Modeling in the NRC International Round Robin Study
Weld residual stresses (WRS) have a large influence on the behavior of cracks growing under normal operation loads and on the leakage flow from a through-wall crack. Accurate prediction on weld residual stresses is important to make proper decisions when cracks in weld joints are detected. During the latest years, there has been a strong development in both analytical procedures to...

2013:04 Research and Development Program in Reactor Diagnostics and Monitoring with Neutron Noise Methods, Stage 18
The program executed in Stage 18 consists of the following three parts: Application of CoreSim with a two-dimensional model of vibrating fuel assemblies, for the calculation of ex-core detector noise throughout a fuel cycle; An investigation of the neutron noise, induced by propagating perturbations, in various thermal and fast reactor systems, in two-group theory; A consistent derivation of...

1995:19 Non-destructive Assay of Spent BWR Fuel with High-resolution Gamma-ray Spectroscopy
A method, based on high-resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy, has been developed for verification of burnup, cooling time, power history and, to some extent, the initial enrichment of spent BWR fuel. It is shown that, provided that the power history is known and corrected for, bumup and cooling time can be verified with accuracies within 3% and 60 days, respectively, for cooling times up to about...

2013:02 Forskningsreaktorer - en analys med fokus på icke-spridning och exportkontroll
Den nu resulterande rapporten berör kortfattat några olika typer av forskningsreaktorer liksom några av deras viktigaste användningsområden. Dessutom berörs reaktorernas användbarhet för plutoniumproduktion samt några indikationer på reaktordrift. Vi har valt att låta rapporten vara översiktlig utan att gå in på detaljer för...

2015:15 Användning av låg- och höganrikat uran – en studie från ett icke-spridningsperspektiv
Höganrikat uran definieras som uran med en anrikning av 235U på minst 20 %. Att minska eller helt eliminera det civila användandet av hoöanrikat uran är ett viktigt led i internationellt icke-spridningsarbete. Till skillnad från plutonium är höganrikat uran inte en biprodukt utan framställs för ett specifikt ändamål. Detta innebär att...

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...

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...
