A model of the transport container intended for transportation of spent nuclear fuel (SFN) is studied. The passage of γ-quanta from the major long-lived isotopes is examined. The radiation shields made of iron, lead and depleted uranium, which are equivalent in mass to the thickness of iron of 15 to...
