• 2024:18 Modelling Environmental Sensitization of Chromia Forming Nickel Base Alloys Toward Stress Corrosion Cracking in Light Water Reactors by Atomistic Simulations

  SSM perspective Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in load bearing structures has been a longstanding issue both in pressurized and boiling water reactors. The specific environment in nuclear power applications consists of high temperatures and pressures that together with the effects of the radiation field on the coolant composition provide tough conditions for the materials used in...

• 2024:17 Atomistic studies on the adsorption and desorption of radionuclides on fuel crud and system surfaces in Light Water Reactors

  SSM perspective Background Radiation safety is of particular concern during power plant maintenance. Radionuclides produced by the neutron bombardment in the core during operation may accumulate on system surfaces such as the filter system or piping and contribute to the radiation field. Some ions that are prone to neutron capture often become trapped in the deposits on the fuel cladding...

• 2024:14 Residual stress distributions in nickel-based dissimilar metal pipe welds

  SSM perspective This report concerns a study which has been conducted for the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority, SSM. The conclusions and viewpoints presented in the report are those of the author/authors and do not necessarily coincide with those of the SSM. Abstract It is common for nickel-base materials to be used as filler metals in the welding of dissimilar metal welds. Dissimilar metal...

• 2024:12 Recent Research on EMF and Health Risk, Eighteenth report from SSM’s Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields, 2023

  SSM perspective Background The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority’s (SSM) Scientific Council on Electromagnetic Fields monitors current research on potential health risks in relation to exposure to electromagnetic fields and provides the authority with advice on assessing possible health risks. The Council gives guidance when the authority must give an opinion on policy matters when...

• 2024:10 Computational analysis of high-burnup fuel rod behaviour in PWR large-break LOCA

  SSM perspective Background Quantum Technologies AB (QT) has for many years developed computational models for the thermomechanical behaviour of nuclear fuel in events such as LOCA and RIA. The research projects have been based on evaluations of tests on nuclear fuel in Halden Reactor Project (HRP) and Studsvik Cladding Integrity Project (SCIP). The models developed by QT enable analyses and...

• 2024:02 Earthquake stationarity and distributed fault displacements, Forsmark repository site

  SSM perspective Background and objective Large earthquakes occur predominantly along plate boundaries. Due to this, much of the research have been directed towards this tectonic setting. Also, the general lack of seismicity data in stable continental interiors, such as the Baltic Shield, have impeded estimations, as well as the understanding, of the seismic hazard in these tectonic settings.

• 2024:01 Stress field modelling of the Forsmark lens – Correlation of stress measurements with stress field simulations

  SSM perspective Background and objective Understanding the in-situ stress field in the Forsmark tectonic lens will lay the fundamental basis to characterise the prevailing mechanical and hydraulic behaviour of the rock mass. Only with a good understanding of the geomechanical setting including the stress field an analysis of future rock mass behaviour under the evolution of conditions in a...
