Abstract

A transitory or temporary storage for highly radioactive waste, in which the transitory storage incorporates containers for the receipt of the waste, and a cooling system for the discharge of the heat which is produced during the storage of the waste. The cooling system incorporates a cooling air duct, as well as a coolant circuit for a coolant which is conveyed in a closed circuit between coolant conduits which conduct off heat generated in the storage space and a heat sink arranged externally of the storage space.
