Description
Colleen Harper and co-authors review how copper coatings on nuclear waste canisters corrode underground in a 2024 paper. Canadas disposal design wraps spent fuel in copper, betting the metal outlasts the hazard. A deep repository will drift from damp and cool, through warm and dry, to cold and soaked over ages.
The review maps what is known about corrosion at each stage and how early damage conditions later stages. Early, unsaturated corrosion and the compounding of one stage upon the next are flagged as understudied. The authors chart the experiments the safety case still needs. Millennia are the design life here.
