The purpose of this work is to investigate the use of cold spray for repair and mitigation of chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) in dry cask storage system (DCSS) canisters to ensure their integrity far beyond their original license period. This report provides a viability analysis of cold spray for repair and mitigation of CISCC in DCSS canisters to extend canister life.
