  • Nuclear Waste Materials
CONT

In the context of the French nuclear waste storage, a multi-barriers disposal is envisaged. Wastes could be put in metallic overpacks disposed in a clay soil. As these overpacks could be made of low carbon steel, it is important to understand the corrosion behaviour of this material in soil during periods of several centuries.

CONT

Dans le cadre du programme français de stockage des déchets radioactifs, mis en place suite à la loi du 30 décembre 1991, un dispositif multi-barrières est envisagé. Les déchets seraient inclus dans des surconteneurs métalliques, eux-mêmes déposés dans une barrière ouvragée en argile. Comme ces surconteneurs pourraient être en acier non allié, il est important de connaître le comportement en corrosion de ce matériau dans les sols pour des périodes de plusieurs centaines d'années.
