Ferralium® performs well as a candidate material for long-term radioactive waste storage.

The paper summarises an extended field trial in which alloy samples were buried for more than six years to judge their suitability for storing radioactive waste. Ferralium® was one of the alloys assessed and performed well in the specified environment.
