ABSTRACT:
A storage container is disclosed for accommodating fuel rods of disassemb irradiated nuclear reactor fuel elements. The storage container includes a circular storage space into which a cage receiving the canned fuel rods is inserted. The individual fuel-rod cans are arranged in the insert cage in the form of a circle in order to achieve a good removal of heat. Hold-down springs bear on the end faces of the cans. The radial extension of the fuel-rod cans towards the longitudinal center of the container is limited to accommodate an empty square central shaft in the middle of the insert cage.
