Support for a storage rack for nuclear reactor fuel assemblies

For support of a storage rack with a rectangular cross-section for nuclear reactor fuel assemblies elbows to be used as centering elements may be fastened to the metal licencing of a storage pit by means of rectangular side pieces, which are arranged at the corners of the fuel pit in such manner that rectangular feet positioned there will be enclosed at the outside of the fuel pit. For adjustment of a given clearance the elbows may be provided with fitting pieces. They also may have supporting plates serving as bases for the feet. The invention may be of advantage especially for storing fuel assemblies from light water reactors. (orig./PW)
