FIG. 13 illustrates the structure of such a conventional transport container. The transport container 1 is composed of a long container main body 2 and a top cover 3 covering one longitudinal end thereof, and has a built-in basket for storing an MOX fuel body (not shown). A fin 4 for heat radiation is provided on the outer peripheral side of the container body 2, and an existing hole 5 such as a drain hole for discharging the internal fluid and some existing holes (not shown) for measurement are provided at the bottom.

At the time of transportation, a bottom buffer 6 and a top buffer 7 which are detachably mounted on the bottom and top of the container body 2 and are mainly made of a non-thermally conductive member are installed. In addition, the top cover 3 and the like are configured such that a structure having a weak strength such as a pipe projecting from the cover wall cannot be installed. Therefore, the bottom of the container body 2 and the top cover 3 for normal transportation do not always have an effective heat radiation function from the inside of the container to the outside. Therefore, heat generated from the fuel body during transportation is mainly transferred from an internal structure such as a basket (not shown) by heat conduction to the container body 2.
And is released to the outside by the radiating fins 4, but is made of a bottom buffer 6 and a top buffer 7 made of a non-thermally conductive material.
From the viewpoint of the existence and the strength described above, heat is not easily radiated from the normal top cover 3 or the bottom of the container body 2.

In transporting a new MOX fuel assembly, various measures against vibration are required, unlike transport of a spent fuel assembly. For example, the MOX fuel body is put in a protection container (not shown), and the protection container is further stored in a basket and put in the transport container 1 for transportation.
The X fuel body must be securely fastened to the protective container, and the protective container must be firmly restrained by the basket. In addition, there is a demand to avoid direct contact between the MOX fuel body and other metals. For this reason, in transporting MOX fuel assemblies, various materials that cannot be used for a sufficiently long time, that is, semi-permanently at high temperatures, such as rubber materials, resin materials, or metal members of sliding parts such as fastening devices, are transported. There is a situation that it has to be used inside the container. Therefore, these members must be regularly inspected during use and replaced as necessary.

[0006] By the way, when assuming a transportation process of the MOX fuel body, it is easy to understand that the MOX fuel body is not stored in the transportation container only for the transportation period between the transportation starting point and the destination. Can be estimated. For example, in a state where the MOX fuel body is stored in the transport container, for example, a standby period from the loading of the MOX fuel body to the transport container to the start of transfer, or a standby period from arrival at the destination to removal of the MOX fuel body. A so-called temporary storage period always occurs. The temporary storage period will vary depending on the transport conditions, but in some cases may be equal to or longer than the transfer period. If the temporary storage period is prolonged with respect to the transfer period, the above-mentioned members are degraded at high temperature and the life is shortened.
