TRANSPORT CONTAINER AND/OR STORAGE CONTAINER FOR HEAT-GENERATING RADIOACTIVE ELEMENT

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a transport container and/or storage container so that it can be easily manufactured and assembled, and further relatively easily peeled for final disposal or to reduce the mass. PSOLUTION: This transport container and/or storage container for a heat-generating radioactive element comprises a container wall 2 for defining a container inner chamber 1, a container bottom 3 and at least one container lid 4. The container wall 2 has a metallic inner wall 5 and a metallic outer wall 6 arranged with a space from the inner wall 5. A heat conductive metal element 7 is arranged between the inner wall 5 and the outer wall 6, and the metal element is in contact with the inner wall 5 and the outer wall 6 by application of an initial stress. A filler is filled in an intermediate chamber 8 formed between the inner wall 5 and the outer wall 6. The metal element 7 consists of a pipe. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
