Corrosion Processes under High-level Nuclear Waste Disposal Conditions

Corrosion Processes under High-level Nuclear Waste Disposal Conditions took place Mar 10, 2026 in Online. It was a Seminar event for corrosion and materials science professionals in the Online region. This talk examines corrosion threats to deep geologic repositories for high-level nuclear waste, focusing on the degradation of copper and zirconium alloy components under evolving environmental conditions. Key topics include microbially induced corrosion, galvanic coupling, hydrogen absorption, and uranium dioxide dissolution. These phenomena are investigated using advanced electrochemical and surface analytical techniques to support long-term safety assessment models.
