  • Apparatus for the dry storage of heat-emitting radioactive materials
    Patent number: 4834916
    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for the dry storage of heat-emitting radioactive waste materials. The latter are stored in tubes placed within a room having at least one cold air inlet and a hot air outlet. The distance between adjacent tubes and the distance between a tube and a wall of the room is such that a conically-shaped hot air boundary layer formed by natural convection around a tube is in contact neither with the boundary layer of another tube, nor with the wall of the room.
