The University of Idaho proposes to a) upgrade the existing static autoclave system in order to simulate the light water reactor conditions without contaminating the high temperature waster with corrosion products; b) install a rotating a cylinder system in the autoclave to study the flow accelerated corrosion of nuclear components; c) carry out numerous corrosion tests on alloys and concrete samples under simulated LWR environments.
