Abstract
A system for storing exothermic materials to enhance heat removal is provided that includes a first canister and a second canister. Preferably, the first canister incorporates a canister wall defining a first storage volume that is adapted to receive exothermic material therein. The second canister incorporates an inner wall and an outer wall, with the inner wall defining a canister-receiving, volume that is adapted to receive at least a portion of the first canister therein. Additionally, the outer wall and the inner wall may define a second storage volume which is adapted to receive exothermic material therein.
