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...

2014:56 Seismic design and analysis of safety-related nuclear structures in Sweden
The report presents the historical development of the seismic design for the U.S., France and Sweden with special focus on issues related to severe earthquakes beyond the design basis as well as important aspects concerning the design basis ground motions for the Swedish nuclear facilities. The report provides recommendations on a revised model for seismic hazard assessments, on minimum...

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...

2015:43 Robust structural verification of pressurized nuclear components subjected to ratcheting
Background Pressurized components in nuclear applications that are subjected to cyclic loading may exhibit progressive deformation, so called structural ratcheting. If the component is made out of a material that are deformation hardening, it may also exhibit material ratcheting. The combined effects of structural- and material ratcheting are not taken into account in the methods and material...

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...

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.

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...
