Fig. 6

A pH9 non-irradiated. B pH9 irradiated. C pH7 non-irradiated. D pH7 irradiated. E pH3 non-irradiated. F pH3 Irradiated. In the first column are shown alteration layers formed on the large faces of the coupons. In the second column are shown the alteration layers formed on a small side of the corresponding coupon. For a given coupon, it is not certain that all the four small sides display the same pattern. R resin, AL alteration layer. Nearby the AL is the uncorroded glass.
