Zusammenfassung:	This container (10) for a non-irradiated nuclear fuel assembly comprises a single casing (11) to accommodate at least one nuclear fuel assembly, the casing (11) being formed of an elongate tubular shell (12), the shell (12) comprising a metallic internal layer (22) delimiting at least one individual housing (20) to accommodate a nuclear fuel assembly (2), and a metallic external layer (30) surrounding the internal layer (22), the shell (12) being filled, between its internal layer (22) and its external layer (30), and of lids (13) to close the or each housing (20) at the longitudinal ends of the shell (12). Suspension elements are provided between the shell (12) and the surface on which the container is placed, for transport purposes. Ce conteneur (10) pour assemblage de combustible nucléaire non irradié comprend une unique enveloppe (11 ) de réception d'au moins un assemblage de combustible nucléaire, l'enveloppe (11 ) étant formée d'une coque (12) tubulaire allongée, la coque (12) comprenant une couche interne (22) métallique délimitant au moins un logement (20) individuel de réception d'un assemblage de combusti-i ble nucléaire (2), et une couche externe (30) métallique entourant la couche in-i terne (22), la coque (12) étant remplie entre sa couche interne (22) et sa couche externe (30), et de couvercles (13) de fermeture du ou de chaque logements (20) aux extrémités longitudinales de la coque (12). Pour le transport, on dipose des éléments de suspension entre la coque (12) et la surface sur laquelle le conteneur est déposé.
