Abstract
A nuclear waste-capsule may include: an outer shell; an inner tube, located in that outer shell; and one or more spent nuclear fuel (SNF) assemblies (or portions thereof), with particular structure(s) attached thereto, within that inner tube. The particular structure(s) may be one or more spring-loaded receptacles (SLRs), such that each of the one or more SNF assemblies (or portions thereof), within the given inner tube, may have circumferentially attached thereto at least one SLR. Each such SLR may act as shock absorbing suspension means and may structurally support and centralize its associated SNF assembly (or portion thereof) within the given inner tube. Additionally, the one or more SNF assemblies (or portions thereof), along with the associated SLRs, may be immersed within a protective/preventative medium, within the given inner tube. The so loaded waste-capsule may be deposited within a wellbore that is located within a repository geological formation.
