Abstract:
In a nuclear fuel storage rack including a plurality of rack cells (1) configured to house a nuclear fuel assembly, the rack cell (1) includes a plurality of plate members (10 to 13) containing a radiation absorption material and stood to form a nuclear fuel housing space (8) configured to house the nuclear fuel assembly, and a fastening unit (14) configured to fasten the plurality of plate members (10 to 13). Each of the plate members (10 to 13) includes projections (16) protruding outward in a lateral direction from one side end and the other side end extending in an upward/downward direction (T1), and concave sections (17) formed at one side end side and the other side by the projections (16). The projections (16) protruding outward from outer surfaces of the plate members (10 to 13) in the lateral direction are fastened by the fastening unit (14).
