Abstract
A lifting lug for a nuclear-waste container has a tubular body having an inner end formed with a flange adapted to be bolted to the container and a transverse wall set in and tightly fitted to a smaller-diameter outer end of the tubular body. The wall is a separate piece from the body and is press-fitted to the tubular body. The wall is mounted at a load point of the lifting lug. In addition the wall is formed of a disk and/or a ring, typically as one unitary piece with the disk and ring spaced from each other.
