In a fuel transport container, basket has a basket hole including at least two adjacent inner side walls to be fit to a fuel assembly for housing the fuel assembly element in the basket hole. The fuel assembly element is directly housed in the basket hole of the basket. The fuel assembly housed in the basket hole is slid by bias means toward the two adjacent inner side walls thereof without pushing the fuel assembly thereby biasing the housed fuel assembly so that the fuel assembly element is in contact with the two adjacent inner side walls of the basket hole.

Fuel transport container and method of transporting a fuel assembly

In a transport container, at least one fuel assembly containing element including at least one fuel assembly is housed in a container having an inner surface portion to be fit to the at least one fuel assembly containing element. The inner surface portion has a predetermined shape substantially corresponding to a fit portion of the at least one fuel assembly containing element. The at least one fuel assembly containing element is pushed by a support against the inner surface portion of the container along a fixed support direction. Therefore, the fit portion of the at least one fuel assembly containing element is fit to the inner surface portion of the container so that the at least one fuel assembly containing element is fixedly supported to the container.

Fuel assembly transport container and method of transporting a fuel

In a fuel protective apparatus having a fuel assembly, the fuel protective apparatus is hoisted up by using a hoisting accessory. The fuel protective apparatus includes a fuel protective container for housing the fuel assembly. The fuel protective container has an opening portion to which the hoisting accessory is accessed. An attachment jig member is fixedly secured to the fuel protective container so as to be engaged to the hoisting accessory accessed to the opening portion.
