Is this about Asse? Then no, they were not surprised when some containers rusted. The waste was primarily meant to be contained by the salt, not by their metal containers; and it was meant to remain there permanently.
Corroding containers was never the issue with Asse, the general instability of the caverns and water ingress is.

Long term stability was already a concern when they wanted to declare this a permanent storage, failing to report structural deficiencies when they occurred circa 2007 and as I now found out twice the expected rates of leukemia in the area between 2002 and 2008 while other types of cancer weren't afected, but of course a connection to the waste storage could not be established.
