Zusammenfassung:A container is designed to safely store radioactive debris. The container has an overpack having an elongated body extending between a top end and a bottom end. A basket is situated inside of the overpack. The basket has elongated canisters. Each of the canisters has an elongated body extending between a top end and a bottom end. At least one of the canisters has an insert with a plurality of elongated perforated tubes that contain radioactive debris. The perforations enable gas flow, primarily air, through the side wall to enable evaporation of liquid, primarily water, from the radioactive debris, by increasing the exposed surface area of the debris.
