Sub-Surface Corrosion Research On Rock Bolt System, Perforated Ss Sheets And Steel Sets For The Yucca Mountain Repository — Quarterly Technical Report No. 9, Dhanesh Chandra, Jaak J.K. Daemen

Publications (YM)

This report shows the work done for this period in accordance to cooperative agreement of University of Nevada system for the Task 019 “Subsurface Corrosion Research on Rock Bolt System, Perforated SS Sheets and Steel Sets for the Yucca Mountain Repository”, the overall objective of which is to conduct corrosion research and predict the durability of rock-bolts and other underground metallic roof supports. We are performing oxidation tests using Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), and Potentiodynamic tests to determine the corrosion rates of rock bolts, other support materials including bench mark materials.

In this quarter, we have performed:

Potentiodynamic tests were performed …

Second Generation Waste Package Design Study, Sam Armijo, Mano Misra

Publications (YM)

The design of waste packages currently proposed for YMP is highly conservative. The candidate materials of construction of the waste packages and drip shields while highly corrosion resistant are extremely expensive and components made from these materials will require complex and expensive fabrication methods to assure their integrity. A proposed, second generation operating concept and waste package design, is intended to permit more efficient and less costly operation of the repository while maintaining waste package integrity. Major reductions in waste package costs can be realized by increasing the number of fuel assemblies stored in each waste package, eliminating the reference …
