Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2774800A1] The invention concerns a container comprising an external casing and an internal structure defining at least a housing (13a, 13b) for receiving and maintaining a fuel assembly (16a, 16b). The container internal structure (10) comprises walls mutually assembled such that the at least one housing (13a, 13b) receiving and maintaining the fuel assembly (16a, 16b) is completely closed along its lateral surfaces and at the longitudinal ends and that the internal structure (10) ensures the maintenance, protection and confinement of the fuel assembly independently of the external casing. The internal structure (10) walls 12a, 12b, 14a, 14b) are double walls filled with a neutron absorbing resin.
