A racking device is provided for storing and/or transporting nuclear fuel assemblies. The racking device includes first stages (Ei&#x2212;1, Ei+1) for neutron absorption and thermal conductivity, as well as second stages (E2i) for mechanical strength arranged so as to alternate with the first stages. Each first stage (Ei&#x2212;1, Ei+1) includes first and second assemblies having interlacing notches () made of aluminium alloy including boron. Each second stage (Ei) includes first and second structures () stacked in a stacking direction () and each is made of one or more materials which are free of neutron-absorbing elements. The first and second structures () are free of notches on their opposite edges in the stacking direction ().
