Corrosion studies of Hanford Double-Shell Tanks (DSTs) at Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) were focused on New Limits testing using statistically design matrices for a high concentration of hydroxide (1.2 M) and testing at various interior points to establish corrosion control guidelines towards pitting corrosion. Ammonia was also added into the statistical design to determine inhibition effects. Additional electrochemical studies of individual organic species and nitrous oxide were tested in a AN-102 based simulant with no organics to compare inhibiting properties of a specific specie and measure any electrochemical improvement towards pitting corrosion.
