This paper studied the release of iodine from lead vanado-iodoapatite (I-APT, Pb_9.85(VO₄)₆I_1.7), a potential nuclear waste form for the radioactive waste element of I-129, which can be enhanced when crevice corrosion of stainless steel (SS) occurring nearby. Reference corrosion studies of I-APT were performed in different bulk solutions including DI water, 0.6 M and 6 M NaCl, and 0.1 M HNO₃ without metal crevice corrosion interactions. The localized enrichment of Cl^–, one of the major consequences of SS crevice corrosion, was found to be the decisive factor that led to the enhanced release of iodine. A surface alteration layer consisting of a mixture of nanocrystalline I-APT and Cl-rich apatite (Cl-APT) formed on I-APT surface. Meanwhile, large Cl-APT crystals formed at the crevice mouth on the I-APT surface. This study reveals a new near-field corrosion mechanism for ceramic waste forms when they are exposed to aggressive local corrosive conditions created by the electrochemical reactions of nearby metals. The insight gained in this study could be beneficial for a more accurate prediction of waste form degradation.
