Abstract
The report discusses the mechanisms of marine corrosion of structural and stainless steels, the degradation mechanisms acting on concrete in a marine environment, the interaction between metal and concrete combined as a low-level radioactive waste package under deep sea conditions, and the effect of environmental parameters such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, and water velocity on deep sea degradation processes. A concluding discussion presents various improved metal alloys and concrete additives which may result in greater resistance of a low-level radioactive waste package to deep sea deterioration processes.
