ABSTRACT:
A cylindrical cask (1) for nuclear reactor fuel comprises a bottom portion (3), a side portion (5), and a top portion (4), each comprising material for shielding against escape of electromagnetic radiation and nuclear particles and for transfer of heat as required. The side portion comprises a plurality of coaxial thin laminas (9,10,11,12), each fitting tightly against the next, and at least two of them having substantial mechanical strength and toughness for stopping the spread of any fracturing that might occur in an adjacent lamina.
