【 摘 要 】

The overall goal of this proposed research is to develop more effective and innovative methods for solving corrosion problems in waste storage tanks. We will accomplish this goal by establishing a science base for understanding the influence of irradiation and solution chemistry on metastable pit initiation and stabilization. This base will allow the formulation of more effective corrosion mitigation strategies in current tanks, the development of materials selection criteria for the deployment of future remediation technologies, and broaden the understanding of data currently being collected by in-tank corrosion probes currently in use at the sites.
