Abstract
A transport/storage cask for a radioactive material has an inner shell and an outer shell, and between the two shells, a gamma ray shielding layer and a neutron shielding layer are provided. The transport/storage cask also includes heat-conductive members which are provided so as to penetrate through the gamma ray shielding layer and the neutron shielding layer. The transport/storage cask for a radioactive material is capable of containing a radioactive material at an enhanced efficiency, exhibits excellent heat-conductive performance, and effectively shields gamma rays and neutrons.
