Abstract: A storage-transport system includes a storage container and a transport container for respectively storing and transporting weak to intermediate level active nuclear waste. The storage-transport system has different containers for the functions of storage and transport, namely the storage container and the transport container. The storage container only meets the requirements for temporary storage which are less strict than the requirements for the transport container, thereby allowing for a simple and therefore less expensive construction of the storage container. A method for storing and for transporting radioactive waste is also provided.
