Over the past decade, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization has conducted a
thorough proof test plan (PTP) to evaluate their novel copper‐coated used fuel container …

Cu patterns have been fabricated as a sacrificial anode on 316L stainless steel using the
super-spread wetting property of liquid copper to simultaneously improve the localized …

To explore the efficient corrosion protection for the nuclear waste storage containers, pure
copper coatings were successfully prepared on the 20# steel pipe surface using an infrared …

Electroplated copper is a key electronic interconnect material in integrated circuits and
printed circuits and inevitably exposed to corrosive media in manufacturing processes. The …

The metallurgy, mechanical properties, and corrosion of Cu, proposed as the corrosion
barrier for Canadian used fuel containers (UFCs) for use in a deep geological repository …

The mechanism of particle-particle interface (PPI) corrosion observed in cold sprayed (CS)
Cu immersed in dilute HNO3 has been elucidated. PPI corrosion is initiated by the oxide …

This thesis investigates the influence of copper microstructure on electrochemical
passivation performance, for the long-term storage of nuclear waste. The increasing global …

For permanent and safe storage of Canada's used nuclear fuel, it is proposed to contain and
emplace the used fuel bundles in a deep underground repository where they will remain for …

Copper is proposed as the primary barrier to protect containers used in the permanent
disposal of spent nuclear fuel in underground repositories due to its favourable corrosion …
