Abstract

There are needed containers having an n-shielding for the transportation and storage or radioactive materials, especially irradiated fuel elements, which containers still remain intact even in extreme accidents and guarantees a good dissipation of heat. This is attained with containers which there is additionally arranged an n-shielding layer of a graphite material between the base body and the inner covering.
