Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9533269A1] A storage system for drums (2) containing hazardous material, such as radioactive waste, comprises a plurality of stillages (1) arranged in a vertical stack. Each stillage (1) accommodates a plurality of drums (2) and is a fabricated metal structure comprising a rectangular planar base (3) having a post (7, 8, 9, 10) extending upwardly from each corner. Each post is hollow and is provided with a support pad (27, 29, 30, 31) at an end remote from the base (3). The support pads lie in a plane substantially parallel to the base. Upper and lower tie plates (35, 36, 43) extend between the four posts to define a perimeter around the stillage. Internal partition plates (38) are provided to form a plurality of compartments for receiving the drums (2), the inner ends of the partition plates (38) being attached to a central ring (40). The stillages (1) can be arranged in a free-standing stack with the base of an upper stillage resting on the support pads of a stillage beneath it. Such a stack is able to withstand loads resulting from seismic events.
