ABSTRACT:
A stowage rack is disclosed for dry transport of nuclear fuel elements in a plurality of elongated, parallel, adjacent prismatic cells. The rack is formed from first and second sets of materials, the first set of materials fulfilling the function of mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, and the second set of materials fulfilling the function of neutron absorption. The stack may be formed entirely of materials fulfilling the function of mechanical strength and thermal conductivity, with the neutron absorption materials being provided within the walls of the cells. Alternatively, materials providing mechanical strength and thermal conductivity may be stacked alternately with materials providing neutron absorption.
