Description

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) was studied in boiling deionized water with gamma-ray irradiation using double U-bend specimens of sensitized austenitic stainless steels, which were considered as canister materials for high level radioactive waste. Gamma-ray irradiation accelerated extremely intergranular SCC in Type 304 ss and Type 304L ss, while Type 304ELC ss did not crack even if irradiated with gamma-ray. Electrochemical measurements revealed that SCC should have been accelerated by oxidizing agents which were generated by radiolysis of water under gamma-ray irradiation
