Abstract

There are needed for containers for the transportation and/or for the storage of spent fuel elements inner linings which guarantee a good heat contact to the outer container and have little operating expense. This is attained by placing in the outer container a bottom and a flange, then positioning therebetween and welding thereto a jacket provided with an axial slot and thereby a flexible diameter. The slot is then subsequently likewise covered and welded.
