ABSTRACT:
A container for storing hazardous waste materials, particularly radioactive waste materials, includes a shell having a closed end and an open end, and a lid for closing the open end. A core assembly arranged in the shell divides the interior of the shell into a plurality of elongated compartments for receiving the waste materials. The shell may be formed from a plurality of identical segments welded to one another, each segment including plural compartments. Preferably, the shell, lid and core assembly are formed from a copper beryllium alloy. The containers may be positioned in a pair of parallel side-by-side rows to produce a self-shielding storage arrangement.
