Aqueous Corrosion Rates for Waste Package Materials

Abstract

The results from 80-week boil-down tests are located in Table 4-6. Section 6.2.1.3 provides further explanation on the use of these rates. 4.1.3.1.4 Radiolysis The results of experiments simulating the effects of radiolysis products on corrosion can be found in Table 4-7. Section 6.2.1.4 further explains the use of these rates. 4.1.3.1.5 Sensitization of Stainless Steel This section does not report any data on corrosion of sensitized stainless steel. The rationale for this can be found in Section 6.2.1.5. 4.1.3.2 Steels Containing Neutron Absorbers (Boron and Gadolinium)
