Therefore, the present invention solves such problems and provides a spent fuel transport container having a cask inner surface anti-staining function. While inserting the main body, place the upper end part of the canister main body on the upper end shelf part of the inner surface of the cask main body through the sealing material on the lower surface of the flange, and place the upper part above the canister main body inside the cask main body on the side wall of the cask main body. A contaminated water outlet communicating with the cavity, a clean water outlet communicating with the upper part of the lower cavity between the inner surface of the cask body and the outer surface of the canister body, and a drain outlet communicating with the lower part of the lower cavity are formed. Furthermore, with this configuration, the inner surface of the cask body is not contaminated, and the work of purifying the cask body by replacing the water inside the cask body with clean water at the reprocessing plant described in (d) above can be omitted.
(f) It is possible to omit the decontamination work of the inner surface of the empty cask body by removing the fuel. M1
In this (e) fuel removal work, by removing the spent fuel from the cask body together with the canister body, the fuel pool, and by extension the fuel storage pool, are free from radioactive materials.
Since there is no risk of contamination by U l/-1, this simplifies the decontamination work for the outer surface of the cask body, which is part of the work (f).
