Heating impact on corrosion mechanism of carbon steel surrounded by bentonite

The long-term safety of geological disposal of radioactive waste is studied through several simulations. Before underground disposal, radioactive waste is stored for 30 to 50 years at facilities near nuclear power plants to cool it down to around 100 degrees Celsius. It is then placed in steel canis...
