Container for storing and/or transporting spent nuclear fuel

A container for storing and/or transporting spent nuclear fuel comprising:

• a body having an outer surface and an inner surface defining an internal cavity;
• a lid enclosing a top end of the cavity, the lid having a bottom surface facing the cavity and an opposite top surface;
• at least one lifting lug coupled to the lid, the lifting lug comprising:
• a cylindrical first component coupled to the lid and protruding from the top surface of the lid, the first component having a bottom first end, a top second end, and an inner surface extending between the ends that defines a hollow interior;
• and
• a retractable cylindrical second component slideably coupled to the first component and at least partially located within the hollow interior of the first component, the second component extending from a first end to a second end along a longitudinal axis;
• and
• wherein the second component of the lifting lug is axially slideable relative to the first component of the lifting lug between:
• (1) a protruded state in which a top portion of the second component protrudes from a top surface of the first component;
• and (2) a retracted state in which the top portion of the second portion does not protrude from the top surface of the first component of the lifting lug.
