Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0004558A1] Apparatus for the containment of a radioactive object or material comprises an outer sealed vessel (3), and an inner sealed vessel (5) for containing the radioactive object, the inner vessel being located within the outer sealed vessel and separated therefrom by a gap (9) which is filled with an inert fluid such as helium, wherein the apparatus is self contained and thus more easily transportable, and is arranged for circulation of the inert fluid in the gap by natural convection only.
