ABSTRACT:
The spent fuel rods from a fuel assembly having the cross section of a square are consolidated in first cans having the same cross section and in second cans having the cross section of rectangle equal to one half of the square. The first and second cans are inserted in a cylindrical shipping or storage cask having the cross section of a circle, the number and portion of each of the first and second cans being selected to produce the maximum geometric or occupancy efficiency of equivalent squares circumscribable by the circle.
