• 2011:33 Mathematical modelling of ultrasonic testing of components with defects close to a non-planar surface

  The report describes work that has been performed in order to model ultrasonic testing of components that contain a defect close to a non-planar surface. The studies have been performed in both 2D and 3D, and in 2D in both the anti-plane (SH) and the in-plane (P-SV). The results show that the presence of a non-planar back wall can reduce the detectability of defects close to the surface. The...

• 2011:30 A fatigue analysis including environmental effects for a pipe system in a Swedish BWR

  The effect of the environment on fatigue design has been the subject of intense study in USA, Japan and elsewhere. Several reports indicate a potentially large influence of the environment, leading to the proposal of entirely new analysis procedures. SSM has in an earlier project sponsored research to evaluate the technical basis for these proposals, see SSM Research Report 2011:04. In the...

• 2011:29 Research and Development Program in Reactor Diagnostics and Monitoring with Neutron Noise Methods, Stage 17

  This report constitutes Stage 17 of a long-term research and development program concerning the development of diagnostics and monitoring methods for nuclear reactors. Results up to Stage 16 were reported in SKI and SSM reports, as listed below and in the Summary. The results have also been published in international journals and have been included in both licentiate- and doctor’s degrees.

• 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...

• 2011:20 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...

• 2011:19 Experimental evaluation of influence from residual stresses on crack initiation and ductile crack growth at high primary loads

  Cracked components are usually subjected to loads causing both primary and secondary stresses, e.g. welding components. Engineering assessment approaches, such as the ASME XI code and the R6 procedure, are commonly used to conduct integrity assessment of such components. There has been an ongoing debate how to treat secondary stresses using engineering assessment methods. The nature of these...

• 2011:17 Structural Health Monitoring of Piping in Nuclear Power Plants – A Review of Efficiency of Existing Methods

  SSM needs to acquire knowledge about new applied Non-Destructive Engineering (NDE) techniques and their efficiency. One area that is discussed more frequently is Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SSM needs to investigate the international experiences of SHM from the nuclear industry. SSM also wants to have more information about the capabilities and the limitations of NDE methods The first...

• 2010:36 Guidance for the Definition and Application of Probabilistic Safety Criteria

  Safety goals are defined in different ways in different countries and also used differently. Many countries are presently developing them in connection to the transfer to risk-informed regulation of both operating nuclear power plants (NPP) and new designs. However, it is far from self-evident how probabilistic safety criteria should be defined and used. On one hand, experience indicates that...
