Abstract
A storage/transport container for radioactive material is made by first subdividing a chamber formed between an inner shell and an outer shell into first and second compartments by means of a foraminous partition having a predetermined maximum mesh size. Then an aggregate of a predetermined minimum particle size greater than the predetermined maximum mesh size is introduced into one of the compartments and a suspension of cement and water is introduced into the first compartment such that the aggregate remains in the one compartment and the cement and water flow through the partition into the second compartment. Normally the aggregate and the suspension are both introduced into the same compartment.
