Understanding the risk of chloride induced stress corrosion cracking of interim storage containers for the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel: Residual stresses in typical welded containers
NACE - International Corrosion Conference Series
The majority of current dry storage systems used for spent nuclear fuel consist of a welded 304 stainless steel container placed within a passively-ventilated concrete or steel overpack. In service, atmospheric salts, a portion of which will be chloride bearing, will be deposited on the surface of these containers. As the canister surface cools over time, these salts will deliquesce to form potentially corrosive chloride-rich brines. Because austenitic stainless steels are prone to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC), the concern has been raised that SCC may significantly impact long-Term canister performance. While the susceptibility of austenitic stainless steels to CISCC is well known, uncertainties exist in terms of the residual stress states that will exist at the container welds. A full- scale cylindrical mock-up was produced, and the residual stresses associated with the weldments in that structure characterized. Results to date indicate that residual stresses will.

SNF Interim Storage Canister Corrosion and Surface Environment Investigations
This progress report describes work being done at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) to assess the localized corrosion performance of container/cask materials used in the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF). Of particular concern is stress corrosion cracking (SCC), by which a through-wall crack could potentially form in a canister outer wall over time intervals that are shorter than possible dry storage times. In order for SCC to occur, three criteria must be met. A corrosive environment must be present on the canister surface, the metal must susceptible to SCC, and sufficient tensile stress to support SCC must be present through the entire thickness of the canister wall. SNL is currently evaluating the potential for each of these criteria to be met.

Status report. Characterization of Weld Residual Stresses on a Full-Diameter SNF Interim Storage Canister Mockup
This report documents the mockup specifications and manufacturing processes; the initial cutting of the mockup into three cylindrical pieces for testing and the measured strain changes that occurred during the cutting process; and the planned weld residual stress characterization activities and the status of those activities.
