The storage rack (1) for the spent fuel elements consists of a multiplicity of containers (2) of square cross-section which are arranged juxtaposed and whose side walls are formed from respectively two rectangular plates (3, 4) which are fixed in profiled rods (5) which have correspondingly shaped recesses (6) into which the plates (3, 4) are plugged. The profiled rods (5) are joined by means of threaded tie bolts (7) to form storage racks of corresponding size. Cavities (8) which are filled with water when the rack (1) is stored in the water basin are situated between the individual containers (2). The distances between the individual containers (2) or the fuel elements can be adjusted by the width of the plates (3, 4). Since all the parts are bolted to one another, the storage rack can very easily be assembled and disassembled. Short distances between the individual fuel elements can be achieved by appropriate design and shielding measures. The storage rack is corrosion-resistant and has a high heat-dissipating capacity. <IMAGE>
