Hoffman, T L

Highly radioactive liquid waste produced at the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant is calcined to a granular solid for long-term storage in stainless steel bins. Corrosion evaluation of coupons withdrawn from these bins indicates excellent performance for the materials of construction of the bins. At exposure periods of up to six years the average penetration rates are 0.01 and 0.05 mils per year for Types 304 and 405 stainless steels, respectively. (auth)
