Assessing the combined effect of gamma radiation and sulfate-reducing bacteria on copper corrosion for deep nuclear waste storage

Ensuring the integrity of containment barriers in geological disposal facilities (GDFs) is crucial for the long-term storage of radioactive waste. Copper is considered as a promising canister material due to its corrosion resistance. This study examines the combined effects of external gamma radiati...
