[en] The results of FY 1985 corrosion testing and design development efforts are presented in support of a feasibility assessment of copper-base materials for use in waste container applications for a proposed nuclear waste repository in basalt. Two materials were included in the assessment activities: (1) high purity copper (UNS C10200), and (2) Cupronickel 90-10 (UNS C70600). Testing activities during FY 1985 included general corrosion, pitting corrosion, and environmentally assisted cracking studies. The FY 1985 waste package design studies considered consolidated spent nuclear fuel and West Valley high-level waste. 6 refs., 5 figs., 2 tabs
