STORAGE CONTAINER FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS HAVING A SIMPLIFIED DESIGN PROVIDING IMPROVED HEAT TRANSFER PROPERTIES

摘要

The invention relates to a storage container (1) for radioactive materials (2), the container defining one or a plurality of housings (4) for receiving radioactive material (2), the container comprising a plurality of transverse plates (20) distributed along the longitudinal central axis (6) of the container, each transverse plate (20) comprising a main plate portion (26) oriented orthogonally with respect to the longitudinal central axis (6) and having one or a plurality of through-holes (24) for the radioactive materials (2) to pass through. According to the invention, at least one through-hole (24) of at least one of the transverse plates (20) has, on the main plate portion (26), an opening outline (32) from which at least one folded heat transfer plate portion (30) projects axially from the main portion (26).
