A building is provided for the temporary storage of radioactive wastes within the area of the nuclear plant where they are produced, which building comprises one or several paralelepipedal blocks in which a plurality of tunellike compartments are defined by partitions adapted for shielding each compartment from the others and from the environment. A plurality of drums are stowed lain side by side in each compartment. Particularly, two of said buildings blocks are located symmetrically at the sides of a gallery toward which the loading and unloading openings of said compartment are facing. A set of machines such as travelling lift (40) comprising a square section column (42), are provided for transferring the drums from a room of the nuclear plant where they are filled and sealed to the storage building through unprotected areas. Said set includes a machine for loading the drums into said tunnels and unloading them therefrom. |
