Corrosion and Materials Degradation, Volume 2, Issue 4

December 2021 - 14 articles

Cover Story: Radiation induced corrosion is one of the possible degradation modes for copper-coated steel containers for the permanent disposal of used nuclear fuel. Depending on whether the near-field environment is water-saturated or a humid atmosphere, a range of oxidising γ-radiolysis products may be formed that could lead to corrosion of the container. A review of the relevant literature and the results from a mechanistically based mixed-potential model indicate that the depth of radiation induced corrosion will be limited to a few tens of micrometres.
