Abstract:This report describes an evaluation of the spent nuclear fuel cladding and canister internal materials' corrosion/oxidation due to (inadvertent) residual free water inside a dry storage canister post-dryout. Drying of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and the impact of (inadvertent) residual water in a SNF canister is being addressed under the DOE-NE Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology (SFWST) program to ensure the safe extended dry storage and transportation of commercial SNF. A long-standing understanding has… Show more
