Creators

Description

Metallic containers for high-level nuclear waste are expected to isolate waste from the repository environment for at least 1000 years. Forms of corrosive attack that could lead to premature failure of the containers and some of the difficulties in predicting corrosion behavior in repositories over long periods of time are discussed
