A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A TRANSPORT AND/OR STORAGE CONTAINER FOR RADIOACTIVE ARTICLES

摘要

To manufacture a transport and/or storage container for radioactive articles, a hollow cylindrical intermediate space (3) formed between a metal outer shell (1) and a metal inner shell (2) is filled with a concrete aggregate having a minimum particle size, and the remainder is then filled with a suspension of cement, water and additives. A container of this kind can be used for high-dosage neutron source strengths with compact dimensions, if two concentric compartments (31, 32)are formed in the space between the shells by means of a diaphragm (8), the passage apertures of which are smaller than the minimum particle size, and the concrete aggregate and the suspension are each introduced only into one of the two compartments.
