Abstract

Concentric annular tanks for the storage of solutions containing fissile materials are disclosed. By placing an appropriate neutron isolator between each of the annular tanks, a critical fissile mass can be avoided and additional annular tanks can be added to achieve a desired total volume and maximum floor space usage. In one embodiment the individual tanks are communicatively coupled at at least one location to equalize the fluid level within the corresponding tanks. The couplings are adaptable for the accession of additional concentric annular tanks to accommodate a larger storage volume.
