Abstract
1311069 Shielded containers GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 11 Aug 1970 [14 Aug 1969] 38711/70 Heading B4Q A container for transporting spent fuel assemblies comprises, Figs. 2a, 2b, an outer shell 28 having cooling fins 17 and enclosing an elongated crate 22 having cells for receiving the fuel assemblies 21. A shield 26 of hydrogenous material, e.g. water, surrounds the crate 22 and this shield is in turn surrounded by a shield 27 of dense material, e.g. depleted uranium, these shields being separated by an inner shell 24 Alternative materials for the shield 27 are lead or tungsten. Cupolas 14, 16 contain valves 32, 33, 36 connected to the interior of the container by conduits 34, 37. In another embodiment, Fig. 4b, the crate 42 is surrounded by a dense shield 47 in turn surrounded by a hydrogenous shield 46. The shield 46 may be water, a solution of a boron compound and water, or a solid such as zirconium hydride. The crate 42 may be water-filled and connected by conduits to water forming the shield 46. In a further embodiment, Fig. 5b, the crate 52 is surrounded by two hydrogenous shields 56, 56<SP>1</SP> and two dense shields 57, 57<SP>1</SP>.
