Abstract
An end support system is applied to each end of a container for shipping nuclear fuel assemblies in an inner box within the container. The end support system includes a rectilinear metal end frame, a crosspiece with a reinforcing channel along an inside surface of the crosspiece and four arms projecting in a perpendicular direction from the metal end frame for straddling the sides of the container end. By screwing the metal end support system into the wooden framing elements of the container, the integrity of the container ends is maintained during hypothetical accident conditions specified in licensing regulations.
