Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion of Disposial Containers for Radioactive Wastes.

Abstract

Microbiologically influenced corrosion has been documented for all metals and alloys currently in use or proposed for packaging nuclear wastes, with the possible exception of titanium. Selection of a material that will provide a reliable physical barrier to prevent leakage of radionuclides will depend on a thorough understanding of mechanisms for microbiologically influenced corrosion, the geological/microbiological/chemical environments of storage sites and their evolution over time.
