Abstract

The application of carbon steel corrosion allowance containers for the long term encapsulation of HLW or spent fuel requires data on the likely rates of corrosion attack so that the metal thickness needed to prevent penetration can be estimated. This paper describes a joint mathematical modelling and experimental approach to the evaluation of the rate of localised corrosion.
