Influence of radiolysis and bacterial extremophiles on lifetime of the canister for deep geological repository

1. The estimation of the influence of radiolysis on oxidation-reduction properties of bentonite pore solution and stability and semiconductive properties of passive layer od stainless steel 316L. 2. The estimation of the influence of radiolysis on uniform corrosion rate and susceptibility to localised forms of corrosion of stainless steel. 3. The estimation of the influence of bentonite pore solution composition changes by sulphate-reducing bacteria and the susceptibility of stainless steel to pitting corrosion. 4. The estimation of the influence of extreme bentonite pore solution composition changes under the biofilm of sulphate-reducing bacteria and the effect on stress corrosion cracking of carbon and stainless steel.
