Abstract

Alloy 22 (UNS N06022) was selected to fabricate the corrosion resistant outer barrier of a two-layer nuclear waste package container. This paper reviews the main corrosion degradation modes that are predicted for the outer layer of the container. Current results show that the containers would perform well under general corrosion, localized corrosion and environmentally assisted cracking (EAC). For example, the general corrosion rate is expected to be below 100 nm/year and the container is predicted to be outside the range of potential for localized corrosion and environmentally assisted cracking.
