ABSTRACT:
The specification describes a container for spent nuclear fuel rods. The basket of the container comprises a plurality of stacked interlocking grid storage assemblies having an "egg crate" structure. The interlocking grid assemblies have radial tab extensions that extend through an intermediate shell and are affixed to an outer casing. The intermediate shell and the outer casing provide double containment, and the radial tab extensions provide heat sinks for transfer of heat from the storage grid assemblies to the exterior of the container.
