Abstract
A transport and storage receptacle for radioactive waste, capable of shielding the environment from radiation, comprises a vessel shell, bottom and cover. The shell and bottom are cast in one piece from cast iron (especially spherolytic cast iron) or cast steel and the cover is a shielding cover which can be recessed in the shell. The wall of the vessel is formed unitarily with at least one passage which communicates with the bottom of the chamber receiving the waste and terminates in an end wall along the upper face of the receptacle which can be provided with a separate closure for this passage.
