In Japan, low-level radioactive waste including aluminium alloys is generated from nuclear power plants. It is well known that aluminium reacts with both alkaline cement and water, generating hydrogen gas. For the safe management of radioactive waste disposal facilities, it is necessary to evaluate corrosion and hydrogen generation behaviours of aluminium corresponding to changing environmental conditions. In the present study, the corrosion behaviour of aluminium in alkaline solutions at 15 °C was evaluated. This paper is part of a supplement on the 6th International Workshop on Long-Term Prediction of Corrosion Damage in Nuclear Waste Systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
