【 摘 要 】

The materials used for isolating waste in the proposed repository are an important component of the overall approach to the design of the repository system. Opportunities exist to enhance the understanding of material corrosion performance and to probe technical enhancements. These enhancements may include optimizing the performance of waste packages for increased reliability and cost effectiveness. Determination of the status and future performance of waste packages based upon materials, design and realistic repository conditions are important to guide rational, reliable and cost effective decisions by policy-makers, managers and engineers.
