... the release of radioactive nuclides to the environment. In anoxic water, such as the groundwater at the disposal site, the corrosion of copper should be extremely slow. However, microbial activity on the surface or in the vicinity of the copper canister can enhance corrosion in many different ways, e.g...

... and may exacerbate other deterioration mechanisms. The requisite conditions for initiation and propagation of ASR include (i) a sufficiently high alkali content of the cement (or alkali from other sources, such as deicing salts, seawater, and groundwater), (ii) a reactive aggregate, and (iii) available...

... after close down of the reactors. The repository silos are excavated into the crystalline bedrock of Olkiluoto Island. The silos start at 60 m below the ground surface and reach the depth of 95 m. The groundwater at the repository depth is anoxic and brackish, with the current inflow into the silos...

...Groundwater in granitic rock in Sweden is oxygen-free and reducing below a depth of 100 to 200 m. The redox potential below this depth ranges between -200 and -350 mV SHE and the water has a pH ranging from neutral to mildly alkaline (pH 7-9) ^{2 - 3} .The chloride concentration...

...Medium for study Abstract Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) was suspected in the corrosion failure of heat exchanger copper piping, carrying groundwater. Laboratory simulation studies were planned to find out the mechanism of corrosion. Ground water from the same plant was transferred...

...-containing groundwaters at elevated temperatures. Potentiostatic tests conducted on alloy 825, a candidate container material, have shown that the potential at which localized corrosion can be initiated is a function of surface conditions and time. The initiation potentials for localized corrosion measured...

... in solutions simulating the groundwater at Yucca Mountain with a higher concentration of chloride indicated that the breakdown and repassivation potentials for the mill finished surfaces were more active than those for polished surfaces. Potentiodynamic polarization tests indicated that pits can be initiated...
