Cold Spray for Mitigation and Repair of Spent Nuclear Fuel Dry Storage Canisters

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate the use of cold spray for repair and mitigation of chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) in dry cask storage system (DCSS) canisters to ensure their integrity far beyond their original license period. This report provides a viability analysis of cold spray for repair and mitigation of CISCC in DCSS canisters to extend canister life.
