BACKGROUND

Summary of Issue
? Most spent nuclear fuel dry storage canisters in the U.S are fabricated from austenitic stainless steel
? Canisters in vented overpacks may be exposed to airborne chloride salts or other atmospheric species
? Deliquescence of salts at high relative humidity (RH) could create corrosive brine on canister surface
? Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) could initiate at stressed locations such as welds
