Abstract
Abstract For the geological disposal system in Japan, a vitrified waste will be contained in a metal overpack, which, in turn, will be surrounded by a thick bentonite buffer. The overpack is aiming to prevent the contact of groundwater to vitrified waste during the high radioactivity and heat generation period of the first 1,000 years at least after emplacement. Within the Japanese program, consideration for overpack candidate materials has included carbon steel, copper–steel composite, and titanium–steel composite. Within the extensive safety assessment conducted in 2000, steel was selected. This selection was partly based on the manufacturability of carbon steel, as well as its well‐understood corrosion behavior. However, the understanding of copper corrosion and welding/manufacturing technologies have greatly progressed over the past two decades. In this study, we focus on the copper‐coated container developed by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, because this technology is seemingly effective to maintain very long‐term containment of hundreds of thousands of years, with a low cost of manufacturing within the Canadian program. We are investigating the applicability of the copper‐coating technologies in terms of the corrosion allowance and mechanical design.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
