ABSTRACT:
Spent fuel racks for housing new or spent fuel assemblies at a nuclear reactor site. The racks are made to modular design and include upper and lower grid structures which provide aligned square openings. A container or cell shaped to the size of a fuel assembly fits in each of the aligned square openings. To provide verticality to the aligned and uniformly spaced cells, leveling pads beneath the base plate supporting the cells are adjustable vertically to cause the base plate to assume a horizontal plane and thereby align cell longitudinal axis with a vertical plane.
