The object of the present invention is preferably a terminal storage container for the final disposal of radioactive substances from glass, in which a secure connection of the glass ball half shells is provided and a method for filling of the end bearings container is created.The object is achieved in that two hollow spheres consisting of in each case two half shells, in one another, but at a distance from one another, are. The intermediate space between the two hollow spheres, with heavy spar (2) or barium sulfate (2) filled. The inner hollow sphere (5) can also be made of glass or a the radioactive radiation absorbing material. Thus, the inner hollow sphere (5), for example, that is made of ceramic or lead. The glass ball half shells (1) of the outer hollow body, consisting of preferably borosilicate glass, have at their contact surfaces are matched to each other in the grinding surfaces, so that a good contact of the two faces. Due to the reaching of a negative pressure in the ultimate disposal containers of at least 5 bar in a vacuum chamber and the subsequent sealing of the end bearings container with a sealing strip (4) at the equator line (10), it is surprisingly after an extended period of time, in the present case, according to about 4,5 years, to form a cohesive connection between the glass ball half shells (1). The pressure on the contact surfaces of the two glass ball half shells (1) by means of a support can also be increased under water.
