Design and development of copper coatings for long term storage of used nuclear fuel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within ongoing work, Canada’s Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) is demonstrating that copper coatings can be developed as viable corrosion barriers for used fuel nuclear containers, emplaced in a deep geological repository. As a means of assessing container design and feasibility, coated samples, manufactured via cold spray and electrodeposition have been produced and characterised. Corrosion testing for coated samples and wrought samples reveals that cold spray samples behave similar to wrought samples in 3 mol L NaCl solution at room temperature. When oxygen is absent, corrosion has not been observed.

Development of Copper-Ferrite Spinel Coating on AISI 430 Steel Used as Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
The bare and pre-oxidized AISI 430 pieces were screen printed by copper ferrite spinel coatings. Good bonding between the coating and the substrate was achieved by the reactive sintering process of the reduced coating. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis revealed that the scale is a double layer consisting of a chromia-rich subscale and an outer Cu/Fe-rich spinel. The result...

The Spent Fuel Assemblies (SFAs) of WWER-1000 reactors are planned to be transported by special containers which are supposed to be designed in a manner to stand against vibrations and impacts in order to protect the spent fuel from any possible damage. The vibration opposition of these containers shall be far beyond the critical resonance, because the resonances about the natural frequency of ...
