Patent
·
OSTI ID:6290414
A storage container for one or more nuclear fuel elements of the kind having a tubular storage vessel within an outer jacket, incorporates between the walls of the container and the jacket at least two separate coolant ducts through which cooling fluid is arranged to be circulated by separate cooling circuits, the jacket containing a liquid, conveniently water, which is static but serves as a heat transfer medium between the storage vessel and the coolant ducts. By utilizing at least two coolant ducts connected to separate cooling circuits, failure of one circuit will not affect the other.
