Abstract:Estimation of the volumetric expansion ratio due to the corrosion of metals is an essential part of the safety assessment of low‐level radioactive waste disposal facilities in Japan, because such volumetric expansion can disrupt the barrier function of these facilities. In the present study, the corrosion products of iron were predicted from potential–pH diagrams and the results of a synthesis test, and the volumetric expansion ratios of the corrosion products were evaluated. Under a basic set of conditions ex… Show more
