摘要 |
The invention relates to a container system for the transport and storage of highly reactive materials, which comprises an outer container ( 1 ) that encompasses at least one inner container ( 2 ) in which the radioactive material is disposed. The inner container ( 2 ) is resiliently received in the inner container so as to absorb shocks. The outer container ( 1 ) comprises a cylinder ( 4 ) whose jacket ( 5 ) consists of prestressed reinforced concrete molded by centrifugal action and is provided with a lid ( 6 ) and a bottom pate ( 7 ) that consist of reinforced concrete. Like the outer container ( 1 ), an intermediate container may consist of prestressed reinforced concrete molded by centrifugal action and may encompass the inner container ( 2 ). Preferably, the concrete parts of the outer container ( 1 ) and the intermediate container ( 3 ) are provided with, e.g., boroxyde as an additional neutron absorber. The resilient mounting of the inner container ( 3 ) or the intermediate container ( 3 ) consists of a plurality of spring elements ( 10, 11 ) that encompass, side by side, in the longitudinal direction of the jacket ( 5 ) and on all sides thereof, the intermediate container ( 3 ) or the inner container ( 2 ). The spring elements ( 10, 11 ) for their part are provided with shock absorbers.
