This paper presents an approach to assess stress corrosion cracking (SCC) damage of a canister for use in confinement management (extended dry storage or geological disposal) of radionuclides from spent nuclear fuel and high-level (radioactive) waste. Localized corrosion, mainly in pitting form and fabrication flaws, were analyzed as a possible precursor to SCC using field/laboratory data. This paper assesses single crack propagation over long time periods and estimates the potential maximum opening area resulting from multiple cracks. This crack propagation model was developed by the Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) for disposal under seismic conditions, and it appears to be conservative with respect to radionuclide releases through the opening area. The SNL model could be applied to the weld and various metals for both management applications. The conservative SNL approach could be used to estimate consequences of radionuclides dispersals, if a canister failed as the confinement barrier.
