Abstract

In situ corrosion testing and in situ monitoring of the near field chemistry are performed as part of the Belgian experimental program for the qualification of an overpack material for long term HLW containment in deep clay formations. Several test facilities are now in operation and some of the first experimental data are presented and discussed in terms of the program objectives.
