Abstract

Depository for spent nuclear reactor fuel elements consists of thick screening walls, enclosing storage frames and facilities for the disposal of the after heat of reactivity. These facilities include heat tubes with a heat emitting side extending into natural draught chimneys next to the depository. Arrangement reduces the technical appts. to a min. without endangering the complete safety. An external energy source is not required.
