Corrosion of research reactor aluminium clad spent fuel in water.

A large variety of spent fuels from research reactors around the world are currently stored underwater in basins. Most of this fuel is clad in aluminum based alloys that are susceptible to corrosion in water. Studies have shown that the important problem of localized corrosion is a very complex phen...
