Long-term geological disposal of nuclear waste requires corrosionresistant 'mister materials for encapsulation. Several austenitic stainless steels are under consideration for such purposes for the disposal of high-levl waste at the candidate repository site located at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Witn regard to corrosion considerations, a worst case scenario at this prospective repository location would result from the intrusion of vadose water. This preliminary study focuses on the electrochemical and corrosion behavior of the candidate canister materials under worst-case repository environments. Electrochemical parameters related ;o localized attack (e.g., pitting potentials) and the electrochemical corrosion rates have been examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
