<p>In the illustrated embodiment, a non-deformable inner vessel 60 retains safely radioactive waste and a suitable dense metal sheath is formed around the inner vessel 60 at relatively low temperatures and pressures and, most importantly, the melting point of the material forming the sheath 74 is substantially lower than the melting point of the inner vessel 60 or the outer vessel 70 so that the sheath 74 can be removed in a suitable furnace thereby permitting retrieval of the inner vessel 60 and the waste for reprocessing.</p> |
