ABSTRACT:
Submerged canisters containing compacted spent nuclear fuel rods are connected to buoyant spacer boxes to reduce the apparent weight of the canisters whereby additional canisters may be introduced into existing water pools without exceeding the load-carrying capacity of the water pool floors. The spacer boxes may be integral with the canisters or may be distinct. The spacer boxes may be rigidly or flaccidly connected to the spacer boxes. Buoyancy in the spacer boxes is preferably achieved by filling them with gas, preferably air.
