Abstract
A concrete cell structure for storing irradiated nuclear fuel has air inlets in the roof and a stack for effecting natural draught ventilation. Air flows through the cells in heat exchange with nuclear fuel containers. The concrete cell structure is housed within a steel framed and sheeted weather tight building which provides a large air plenum for the inlet ports and thereby avoids serious pressure variations at the inlets caused by wind loadings.
