ABSTRACT:
A storage and transport container for radioactive waste has an upwardly open vessel having a closed bottom, solid walls, and an open upper mouth. A lid is sealingly engaged over and completely blocks the mouth. This lid is formed with at least one vertically throughgoing passage having a lower end and an upper end. A rigid guide tube fixed to the lid extends down in the vessel from the lower passage end to a location immediately adjacent the bottom of the vessel. Thus the interior of the tube forms a downward continuation of the passage to the location. A flexible feed tube extends along the passage and the continuation thereof and has an upper end screwed to the lid at the upper passage end and a lower end at the location. Thus the vessel can be filled and emptied through this feed tube, which therefore can be an accessory that need not be left on an inactive container, thereby greatly reducing cost per container.
