Abstract
A spent nuclear fuel shipping basket has a plurality of tubes of corrosion resistant material, each tube being adapted to contain a spent nuclear fuel rod assembly. The tubes are arranged in a geometric pattern within a circular cask, and are totally independent of each other, with neutron poisoning material between adjacent tubes. Filler blocks of heat absorbing material which may also contain neutron poisoning material are inserted into the empty spaces between the tubes and the wall of the cask, and are independent of both tubes and wall.
