ABSTRACT:
A radioactive-material container includes a container body that shields nuclear radiation, which includes a cavity that stores a basket containing a recycle fuel assembly, a lid that covers the cavity, and a metal gasket that includes a sealing area that makes a physical contact with the container body and the lid. The sealing area has a specific shape that disperses tightening stress acting on the metal gasket for a sealing.
