Abstract

This paper describes a modeling study for general corrosion of copper which is a candidate material for high-level radioactive waste overpacks. The model is a mixed-potential model combined with diffusive transport of reactants and reaction products. The rest potential and corrosion rate of copper in aerated solution were measured while controlling the thickness of a diffusive solution layer on the copper surface using a rotating-disk electrode. Experimental data were used for validation of the model.
