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 …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art analysis of the expected degradation processes of a
variety of candidate container materials for the disposal of high-level waste and/or spent …

In the design of used nuclear fuel containers for deep geological repositories, copper is
considered to be a suitable and long-lived barrier for corrosion resistance. The …

Hydrogen permeation and corrosion behaviour of Cu-coated carbon steel under simulated
nuclear waste disposal conditions of the Beishan area have been investigated. The …

Carbon steel (CS) vessels coated with∼ 3 mm of Cu have been proposed for the permanent
disposal of used nuclear fuel in a deep geological repository (DGR) in Canada. In the event …

The microstructures of copper (Cu) materials were investigated by electron backscatter
diffraction, showing that electrodeposited (ED) Cu has a homogenous polycrystalline …

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization is evaluating the safety and feasibility of the
permanent disposal of used nuclear fuel in a deep geological repository. Their current …

The strategy for the permanent disposal of high‐level nuclear waste in Canada involves
sealing it in a copper‐coated steel container and burying it in a deep geologic repository …

The long-term containment plan for Canada's used nuclear fuel employs copper-coated
carbon steel (CS) containers encased in compacted bentonite clay buffer boxes. In the …

Detonation spraying is commonly used to form protective and functional coatings. The
influence of the temperature and velocity of spraying particles on the quality of the coatings …
