Determination of Representative Ground-water for Corrosion Assessment of Candidate Materials Used in Beishan Area Preselected for High-level RadioactiveWaste Disposal Repository postprint

Abstract: Based on the data of previous analysis of groundwater samples by bore holing and the data of the field survey in Beishan area, the chemical compositions of the typical samples collected from ground waters in the desired sites were summarized in this paper. It can be drawn after a comparative evaluation of the content of the main anions and cations of ground waters that the groundwater sample collected from the third borehole in the Jiujing block can be considered as the representative of ground waters of Beishan area, therefore, which may be adopted in the near future as a medium for corrosion evaluation of candidate materials to provide a near- field chemical environment around the disposal waste container in high- level radioactive waste disposal repository of Beishan area.
