Abstract
A storage device for transporting and/or storing nuclear fuel assemblies. The device includes a plurality of transverse structures separated by spacers. Sleeves pass through openings of at least one of the transverse structures. Each sleeve is made from flat structures and forms a housing that can receive a fuel assembly. At least one of these sleeves has an inner recess-delimiting surface formed in part by an inner surface of a first flat structure made with boron and an inner surface of a second flat structure made without boron.
