The disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel (SF) presents a unique challenge for the prediction of the long-term performance of corrodible structures since HLW/SF containers are expected, in some cases, to have lifetimes of ...

High-strength concrete (HSC) uses binders and microfillers with ultrafine particles, such as silica fume. The resulting dense internal hydration structure rapidly decreases HSC humidity, causing shrinkage cracks and affecting internal hydration. Herein, ...

The corrosion performance of Aluminium (Al) and zinc (Zn) is of interest in repositories for radioactive waste as the production of hydrogen gas during their anoxic corrosion may create open pathways for the transport of radioactive ions. Al and Zn rods ...
