Permanent disposal of high level nuclear waste in containers that employ steel as a
structural element and copper as a corrosion barrier material is a favoured design concept in …

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 …

All nuclear energy producing nations face a common challenge associated with the long-

Abstract In 2012, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization developed a comprehensive
proof test plan (PTP) to evaluate the feasibility and safety of their copper‐coated used fuel …

Predicting the long-term corrosion behavior of containers for the disposal of nuclear waste
requires making predictions over timescales of up to 1 million years. The development of …

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 …

The proposed long‐term management plan for used nuclear fuel is to isolate it within a
multiple‐barrier system underground in a deep geological repository (DGR). In the …

The long-term containment plan for Canada's used nuclear fuel employs copper-coated
