The University of Nevada at Reno proposes to propose to develop mitigation of the possible initiation of pitting/stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in dry storage canisters austenitic stainless-steel welds by applying laser shock peening, shot peening and ultrasonic impact peening as well as indirect laser shock surface patterning methods (LSSP).
