Abstract (en)

[origin: ES8303793A1] Known containers for the transportation and/or storage of irradiated fuel elements have insertion canisters made of steel or massive bodies of non-ferrous metals. These have a high weight and possess no neutron shielding effect. These disadvantages are avoided by making an insertion canister consisting of graphite.
