Abstract
A cask basket construction for storing and transporting nuclear waste material, such as spent nuclear fuel assemblies or fuel rods. The construction is comprised of a plurality of individual storage cells for storing the nuclear material, with the plurality of storage cells rigidly affixed to one another to form a high strength, lightweight, unitary array of storage cells. Thermal loading elements positioned between walls of adjacent ones of the cells as well as a coolant flow is provided to transfer heat generated by the nuclear material contained in the storage cells to the outer portions of the cask basket construction. A heat path is included for dissipating the heat transferred away from the center of the array of storage cells. The thermal loading elements further serve as an integral structural component of the array for enhancing the structural strength thereof.
