The disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SF) presents a unique challenge for the prediction of the long-term performance of corrodible structures since HLW/SF containers are expected, in some cases, to have lifetimes of ...

In Finland, the repositories for low and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LLW and ILW) will be situated at three different geographical locations in about 60 to 100 m deep granite bedrock where the waste and waste containers can be subjected to anox...

The corrosion performance of Aluminium (Al) and zinc (Zn) is of interest in repositories for radioactive waste as the production of hydrogen gas during their anoxic corrosion may create open pathways for the transport of radioactive ions. Al and Zn rods ...

Long-term environmental performance assessments of natural processes, including erosion, are critically important for waste repository site evaluation. However, assessing a site?s ability to continuously function is challenging due to parameter uncertain...

In 2013, the Spanish government created two new taxes on used nuclear fuel. This article aims to present the results of an economic study carried out to compare the costs of long-term storage of used nuclear fuel ?open cycle strategy?, with the co...
