Nuclear transport and storage flask, e.g. for non-irradiated fuel assemblies, includes spacers permitting local deformation of internal sidewall during testing

摘要

The container (1) includes spacers (30) between the main structure (4) and the casing (2). The spacers (30) prevent direct contact between the internal side wall (24) and the main structure (4). This is sufficient to permit local deformation of the internal sidewall (24) of the casing, such as during a drop test onto a fixed cylindrical punch.
