Abstract

1. Device for storing burned-up, heat-releasing nuclear reactor fuel elements which are enclosed in containers (9) and which are arranged in a horizontal position within buildings and are cooled by a gas stream (36), the building having a storage zone (5) and a charging zone (6), characterised in that pallet cars (21) arranged one above the other in rows, leaving a gap in between, form the receiving positions for the containers (9), that the pallet cars are moveable along rails (20) running between two opposite side walls (11) of the storage zone (5), that the storage zone can be loaded and unloaded from openings (17) located in these two side walls, and that the gas stream circulates only within the building (10).
