Lifetimes of Used Nuclear Fuel Containers Affected by Sulphate-Reducing Bacteria Reactions inside the Canadian Deep Geological Repository

The present work aims at approximating the reduction of sulphate to sulphide caused by sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) inside the Canadian deep geological repository in order to calculate the expected lifetime of used nuclear fuel containers (UFCs). Previous studies have assumed a conservative cons...
