A plurality of drums are stowed lain side by side in each compartment. Particularly, two of said buildings blocks are located symmetrically at the sides of a gallery toward which the loading and unloading openings of said compartment are facing. A set of machines such as travelling lift (40) comprising a square section column (42), are provided for transferring the drums from a room of the nuclear plant where they are filled and sealed to the storage building through unprotected areas. Said set includes a machine for loading the drums into said tunnels and unloading them therefrom.
