ABSTRACT:
There is provided a method of transporting a nuclear fuel substance capable of increasing an amount of storing the nuclear fuel substance of a transport vessel by lowering the neutron effective multiplication factor by arranging neutron absorber plates among a plurality of nuclear fuel storing drums for storing the nuclear fuel substance, or at the inside of the respective nuclear fuel storing drums in transporting the nuclear fuel substance.
According to the present invention, in transporting the nuclear fuel substance by containing a pile of the plurality of nuclear fuel storing drums in series for storing the nuclear fuel substance in the transport container along the vertical central axis of the transport container having substantially the bottomed cylinder shape, the neutron absorber plates each including a component for absorbing neutrons are interposed among the respective nuclear fuel storing drums on planes orthogonal to a vertical central axis of the transport container.
