Abstract
ABSTRACTMathematical models to enable long-term prediction of the corrosion
behaviour of carbon steel overpacks for radioactive waste have been
developed. An existing model of the growth of pits, implemented in the CAMLE
software, has been extended and used to investigate the sensitivity of the
predictions to input parameters, including cathodic reaction kinetics and
the relative position of the anode and cathode. Predictions have also been
made of the aeration period of the repository, during which localised
corrosion is possible.
