ABSTRACT:
A storage device for nuclear plants for storing spent fuel elements in such a way as to preclude relative movement between the walls of the element storing chamber and the fuel element. The invention contemplates storing chambers whose cross-section is square and fuel elements in the shape of four sided prisms. At least two opposite guide surfaces are arranged obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the storing chamber and to the longitudinal axis of the fuel element to be stored therein. These guide or guiding surfaces are positioned near the bottom of the storing chamber. The guiding surfaces are adapted to engage the lower edge of the fuel element placed in the storage chamber and to impart a rotary motion to the former so that its four longitudinal edges engage the wall of the storage chamber. In this position no impact between the walls of the storage chamber and the spent fuel element can occur.
