Prestigious international journal recognizes NWMO scientists' work on copper-coating safety
Article content The article reviews hundreds of research articles relevant to the long-term integrity of copper coatings, spanning nearly a century of peer-reviewed scientific publications. It serves both as evidence of the safety of the design for Canadaâs plan and to inform similar international projectsthat rely on copper, but with different geospheres, container designs and nuclear materials. The article reviews past research to calculate what level of corrosion is possible in a repository environment. Also examined are a myriad of possible corrosive factors, such as exposure to grou...
