Corrosion of Copper Nuclear Waste Containers in Aqueous HNO3 Solutions

Recent research is looking to determine the effects of radiolytically produced HNO3 droplets on the corrosion of copper coatings on high level nuclear waste containers. The extent and distribution of corrosion damage has been analyzed to help determine a penetration rate and the reaction rate constants required to model the...
