ABSTRACTAlloy 22 is the material preferred by the U.S. Department of Energy for the waste package outer container for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste at the proposed site in Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Alloy 22 is considered to be extremely resistant to various modes of aqueous corrosion over broad ranges of temperature, pH, and concentration of anionic and oxidizing species. Uniform corrosion under passive dissolution conditions, localized corrosion in the form of crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking are discussed on the basis of experimental results obtained with mill annealed, thermally treated, and welded specimens using electrochemical techniques. The approach developed for long-term performance prediction, including the use of empirically derived parameters for assessing localized corrosion and the modeling of the passive dissolution behavior, is described.

The Department of Energy, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management expects to begin transporting spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste to the federal repository being developed at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, when it begins operations in 2010. A review of past transport acquisition activities is given. The strategy, and approach used to acquire private sector supplied equipment and services for the necessary transport activities are described and discussed.

For four years after receiving my Ph.D., I was employed by a large consulting firm. One of our principal clients was the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) high-level radioactive waste repository program at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. As the primary planning and regulatory contractor for their project office in Las Vegas, we wrote and sometimes implemented plans for studies of the Yucca Mountain site and for compliance with environmental regulations. Employees of our firm were as close as possible to being insiders within the project office while not being directly employed by DOE.
