SSM (former SKI) - Experiences from the International Common Cause Failure Data Exchange-project (ICDE)
Within the ICDE project a great amount of information on dependent failure, of CCF-character, at the nuclear power plants of the member countries has, during a long time, been collected and quality assured. It is considered to be important that the public reporting by ICDE is further treated at national and local level, in this case within SKI. Considering SKI it is essential that the collected information is modified so that the inspection activities can make use of and be supported by the obtained experiences when an inspection or review is planned and performed. The result is documented in SKI-rapport 2008:32 (written in swedish but with a short english summary).

OKG AB - Projekt PULS – Updating system descriptions
An important part of power uprate projects is to update the safety analysis report which among many includes system descriptions. To manage the administration and the quality assurance of the work, we have used our own document management system (SusiQ) for creating a project site on our homepage. This means that we have traceability to all actions carried out and all the members in the project have easy access to the material.

Forsmark AB – Staffing analyses
To be able SKI to assess the staffing in the control rooms for SKI, they have made an injuction to Sweden's nuclear power plants regarding staffing analyses for control room staff and plant technicians. The objective of the analyses is to study the staffing in a reactor safety point of view. Our project includes implemention, documentation and presentation of the analyses regarding the demand of control room staff and plant technicians which will be used when determining the minimum amount of staff.
