Abstract
A storage space device for the transport and/or storage of nuclear materials, comprising a main structure defining at least one housing intended to contain the nuclear materials and includes a mobile heat conduction structure forming at least one portion of a side outer surface of the storage space device. The mobile structure has at least one mobile heat conduction component mounted on the main structure so as to be displaceable reversibly from a retracted position to a deployed position while moving away from the structure.
Claims15
A container for the transport and/or storage of nuclear materials, comprising:
- a storage space device having a main structure defining at least one housing (L) intended to contain said nuclear materials, and
- a package having a cavity delimited by a side inner surface and a lid closing the cavity to form a closed cavity,
- said storage space device configured to be slidably introduced into said cavity, the storage space device being removably placed inside said cavity of the package, and when the storage device is placed in the cavity it is integrally enclosed in said cavity,
- wherein the container is formed such that it also includes a mobile heat conduction structure forming at least one portion of a side outer surface of said storage space device, said mobile heat conduction structure comprising at least one mobile heat conduction component mounted on said main structure so as to be displaceable reversibly, from a retracted position to a deployed position, while moving away from said main structure, wherein play is reduced between said side inner surface and said side outer surface, or contact between said side inner surface and said outer surface is obtained or increased.
A container for the transport and/or storage of nuclear materials, comprising:
- a package comprising a main structure and a housing cavity being delimited by a side inner surface of said package and a lid closing the housing cavity to form a closed housing cavity;
- and
- a storage space device configured to be slidably introduced into said housing cavity, the storage space device being placed inside said housing cavity, and when the storage device is placed in the housing cavity it is integrally enclosed in said housing cavity,
- wherein the container also includes a mobile heat conduction structure forming at least one portion of said side inner surface of the package, said mobile heat conduction structure comprising at least a mobile heat conduction component mounted on said main structure so as to be displaceable, reversibly, from a retracted position to a deployed position while moving closer to a longitudinal axis of said housing cavity.
