Abstract
The chapter describes the metal containers that are used for the packaging of solid radioactive waste with a focus on containers intended for disposal. One of the safety functions of a container is physical containment and the three ways of achieving this are outlined. The chapter provides an overview of metal corrosion theory and then describes some of the many container designs that are already in use or proposed for use in the future, grouping these by material. Approaches to quality management and possible future developments are also discussed.
