ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for the storage in a storage room (9) of radioactive material and particularly for the temporary storage of radioactive nuclear fuel from nuclear reactors and of non-reprocessed radioactive material.
A remote-controlled robot arrangement, comprising a transfer robot (4) and a lifting and carrying robot (5), is designed to fit into a lift (8) for moving the material from ground level to the storage room, to transfer the material into double-walled containers (1), and to carry stacks of containers. The material is transferred by the transfer robot (4) to and from the double-walled containers (1). The containers are provided with safety arrangement (2) with three safety locks to prevent the radioactive material from escaping during transfer.
Heat removal from the double-walled containers (1) is effected by means which make the heat available for practical use and maintain the correct temperature in the containers.
