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...

2015:37 Models for axial relocation of fragmented and pulverized fuel pellets in distending fuel rods and its effects on fuel rod heat load
Haverifall med kylmedelsförlust (LOCA) i lättvattenreaktorer kan leda till överhettning av bränslestavar, utvidgning av stavarnas kapslingsrör, samt axiell omflyttning av bränslekutsfragment i de delar av stavarna som expanderat. Bränsleomflyttningen kan koncentrera värmebelastningen till en begränsad del av stavarna och därigenom öka risken...

2015:38 Evaluation of fatigue in austenitic stainless steel pipe components
Background Transferability of experimental results obtained for smooth test specimens under constant amplitude loading to realistic components subjected to variable amplitude loading is an important issue in the design against fatigue. There is a lack of experimental fatigue data for austenitic steel components and the present study is an important contribution to fill this gap. Objective The...

2015:32 Safe and responsible management of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste in Sweden - National Plan
The National Plan describes the general principles (national policies), the legislative, regulatory and organizational framework (national framework) as well as the strategies (national programme and systems) that control the safe and responsible management of spent nuclear fuel and of all types of radioactive waste in Sweden, now and in the future. Flavio Lanaro (project leader), Erica...

2015:30 Technical Note, Rock Mechanics - Assessing the likelihood and extent of fracture growth in the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark
This review work concerns the evaluation of the likelihood and extent of fracture growth around the deposition tunnels and holes of the planned KBS-3 repository at Forsmark. The issues of the isostatic, shear and thermal loading concerning the stability and evolution of rock fractures around the KBS-3 repository at Forsmark are addressed. Hereby, the thermal, glacial and earthquake scenarios...

2015:29 Technical Note, Quality Assurance in SKB’s Copper Corrosion Experiments
I Sverige planeras slutförvaring av använt kärnbränsle. Metoden som har utvecklats kallas för KBS-3 och den bygger på tre skyddsbarriärer; kopparkapslar, bentonitlera och det svenska urberget. Det specifika syftet med den här rapporten är att få en förståelse för, och en bedömning av, SKB:s kvalitetssäkring av deras försök...

2015:25 Design Guide for Nuclear Civil Structures (DNB)
The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) and the Swedish licensees have previously in a jointly funded research project developed a design guide for civil structures at Swedish nuclear facilities to be based on Eurocodes, DNB. The report was published in January 2014 as SSM Report 2014:06. To further improve DNB and to ensure that the fundamentals of the recommendations will be applied...

2015:20 The effects of mild, acute hypoxia on cognitive performance
Room air with reduced oxygen levels that prevent materials to ignite and combust is a cost-effective and increasingly popular fire prevention method. For system safety reasons, the effects of hypoxia, that is, the lack of sufficient oxygen (that is, less than 21% oxygen which is the approximate oxygen level of normal air), on cognitive performance of persons working under such conditions are...

2015:27 APRI-8: Accident Phenomena of Risk Importance. En lägesrapport om forskningen inom området svåra haverier under åren 2012-2014
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...
