CONTAINER FOR LONG-TERM STORAGE OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

摘要

A container for the long-term storage of radioactive material is described, particularly for the storage of irradiated fuel elements insuitable geological formations. Said container assures an intact barrier over a long period of time even in the case of water or liquor breaking in. The container is provided with a cathodic protection against corrosion, an isotope battery serving as the direct-current source. The stored radioactive material is used as the source of energy.
