Abstract An experimental procedure based on static leach tests of a combination of glass powder and a finely polished monolith is proposed to determine the long-term corrosion rate of nuclear glasses in confined environments. Solution analyses and detailed characterization of the monolith surface with MeV ion-beam techniques show a drastic decrease of the corrosion rate with reaction progress. It is concluded that the residual affinity model, based on a control of the final rate by dissolved silica, cannot account for our observations.
