Prediction of canister lifetime
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States)
The lifetime of vitrified waste and waste concrete canisters stored in air or in dry salt was predicted by extrapolating the thickness of reactions observed in long-term heating tests to estimate the time required for penetration of the reference design canister. Test specimens were heated for up to 20000 hours at temperatures that bracket the temperature expected during waste form storage. We carried out a series of long-term heating tests to evaluate compatibility of candidate canister alloys with both vitrified waste and waste concrete.
