Research Progress of Container Materials for High Level Radioactive Waste

Material selection and corrosion of waste container are important for the high level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal. For the concept design of geological repositories of HLW, several countries have tested and analyzed the corrosion rate, corrosion products and natural life of the materials that are suitable for HLW containers, influencing factors also have been investigated. Those are significant for the relevant work in China.
