Abstract:
An apparatus for supporting spent nuclear fuel. The apparatus may include a basket apparatus that is designed to be inserted into a cavity of a container or cask. The basket apparatus may be formed by arranging a plurality of slotted plates in an intersecting manner. The slotted plates may form fuel cells for storing fuel assemblies with spent nuclear fuel rods therein and flux trap spaces between adjacent ones of the fuel cells. Furthermore, the apparatus may include reinforcement members positioned in the flux traps to increase the structural strength of the basket apparatus.
