Container for transporting and storing heat releasing materials, spent nuclear fuel assemblies or vitrified high active waste comprising shells

摘要

A transport and storage container for a heat generating radioactive material comprises a metallic container (2) that includes a neutron moderating material (1), closure elements, and a carrier (3) in the container, which has compartments (4) for the radioactive material. Empty compartments are located between the compartments that hold the waste. The peripheral empty compartments (5) are filled with a graphite moderating material.
