A system to remove heat from nuclear fuel assemblies is disclosed. Such heat removal system includes one or more units having a base and one or more plates extending outwardly therefrom, the units being adapted to fit in a nuclear fuel assembly when it is placed in a shipping cask. The plates of the heat removal device, which are formed of a heat conductive material, fit between the pins of the nuclear fuel assembly and convey heat from the assembly to the shipping cask, from whence it is removed to the atmosphere by conduction through the cask.
