ABSTRACT:
A storage framework for nuclear reactor fuel elements includes a baseplate on which a plurality of structural wells of essentially rectangular cross section are fastened. The structural wells stand upright on the baseplate and in each case are disposed approximately diagonally opposite one another in a checkered manner. Structural wells located diagonally opposite one another in each case span an interspace. A neutron-absorbing structure with boron-treated steel is disposed in the interspace and/or in the structural wells, is displaceable relative to the structural wells and has plates made from boron-treated steel. The plates form an essentially rectangular absorber well which does not take on any load-bearing functions of the storage framework. The absorber well is fixed in its position by spacers, in particular edge beads, on the plates.
