Radiolytic Specie Generation from Internal Waste Package Criticality

Radiolytic Specie Generation from Internal Waste Package Criticality

Author(s)
JOHN A. MCCLURE ,
GEORGETA RADULESCU
Publication Date
The effects of radiation on the corrosion of various metals and alloys, particularly with respect to in-reactor processes, has been discussed by a number of authors (Shoesmith and King 1998, p. 2). Shoesmith and King (1998) additionally discuss the effects of radiation on the proposed Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR) Waste Package (WP) materials. Radiation effects on the corrosion of metals and alloys include, among other things, radiolysis of the local gaseous and aqueous environment to produce both oxidizing and reducing radicals.

Publication Date

Worldwide activities related to the storage of spent (irradiated) nuclear power reactor fuel and highly-radioactive, long-lived wastes are summarized, with a review of the storage programs and plans of 26 nations. The focus of the report is on the application of dry storage techniques to spent fuel, although dry storage of long-lived wastes is also reviewed.
