In this second of two episodes, I am joined by Sean Wagner, a materials engineer with a Masters Degree in Materials Science. We are discussing corrosion, how it may or may not affect the NWMO used fuel canisters, and walking through some of the research papers associated with copper corrosion and used fuel storage.
If you'd like to follow along, the paper discussed in this episode is:
