text: The effects of anaerobic corrosion are evident when evaluating the safety of chemical waste disposal. Currently, the permanent disposal of nuclear waste is commonly in deep geological repositories (DGR) that use copper coating to prevent metal corrosion. In the DGR, four major types of corrosion are expected to occur, including oxygen-driven, radiation-influenced, anaerobic, and microbiologically-influenced corrosion. Of these, the most notable process is the microbiologically-influenced corrosion in terms of the magnitude of corrosion. The ability of microorganisms such as SRB to survive in a wide range of environments also lends to their relevance when considering the threat of corrosion to permanent chemical waste disposal.
