ABSTRACTCorrosion resistant canisters are an important component of the engineered barriers of a nuclear waste disposal system. In addition to providing containment for the waste form during transportation and emplacement, a durable canister can eliminate hydrothermal interactions with the waste form. The selection of a repository site and emplacement technique will affect canister design and could also impact material selection. While there are still many issues to be resolved, there are two different concepts being evaluated to provide durable canisters for waste disposal: (1) canisters fabricated out of extremely corrosion resistant materials such as Ti-base or Ni-base alloys, and (2) canisters fabricated out of less durable materials but designed with a corrosion allowance. Each of these types of canisters could fail to meet the design objectives through a variety of failure processes. The more important of these are discussed.
