A laboratory system for studying the microbiological corrosion of decommissioning waste was designed and developed. Microbially induced corrosion in deep bedrock is important when evaluating long-term safety of disposal of radioactive waste. In oxygen-free water corrosion of metals is low. Microorganisms however are able to accelerate several types of corrosion. The groundwater at the repository depth contains up to 105 microbial cells/mL with considerable diversity.Microbiological corrosion of carbon steel in natural anoxic groundwater was studied over a one-year experimental period using electrochemical technologies and molecular biology methods. The material in this laboratory experiment was carbon steel (AISI 1005). Electrochemical methods enabling real-time survey of corrosion such as multi-electrode arrays sensors and LPR were used in combination with molecular biological methods qPCR and HTP sequencing to detect microbial biofilm formed on the carbon steel surfaces. The general corrosion rate was between 10 and 35 µm/a over the span of the experiment. Localized corrosion rates were higher than general corrosion at maximum over 900 µm/a and at average 120 µm/a. Cumulative corrosion rates were confirmed in the end of the experiment by weight loss and a corrosion rate of 10.2 µm/a was calculated. The deposits formed on the surfaces contained iron sulfur carbon and oxygen as major components. Bacterial biofilm formation on surfaces was intensive and 106/cm2 bacterial 16S copies were detected. The majority of the biofilm was formed by alpha- and betaproteobacteria and the most common archaeal belonged to Thaumarchaeota Marine Group I.The aim of this paper was to characterize microbial biofilms associated with corrosion and corrosion mechanisms. The results of this study can be used when evaluating risks associated with microbially induced corrosion of metallic materials in underground storage of low and intermediate nuclear waste.

Key words: MIC, stainless steel, groundwater, deep biosphere, SRB

Rare corrosion failures of stainless steel are reviewed in the paper. The cases originate from low chloride waters like potable water or fresh water in the temperature range of 15-25°C. Under such conditions full resistance of austenitic stainless steel like AISI 316 is usually expected.
