• 2017:02 Slow strain rate testing of copper in sulfide rich chloride containing deoxygenated water at 90 °C

  Background Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can occur in materials from the combined influence of tensile stress and a corrosive environment. It has previously been shown in the literature, that copper can be sensitive to SCC in the presence of sulfide containing water. Since both tensile stresses are present as well as a material were SCC can occur, SCC could potentially be a problem for the...

• Radioactive waste

  Radioactive waste is generated in activities where radioactive substances are used. The largest amount is generated in Swedish nuclear power plants. Some of the radioactive waste comes from other activities involving radiation, such as healthcare, research and industrial operations. Radioactive waste is generated, for example, when end-of-life fire detectors have to be disposed of, in...
