When placing, the damaged fuel element is placed into the inner sleeve 8 through the installation hole. The placement hole plays a guiding role in the placement of the damaged fuel element, thereby improving the placement efficiency. A storage cavity for placing the damaged fuel element is formed inside the inner sleeve 8. The setting of the inner sleeve 8 realizes the limiting and fixing of the outer circumferential surface of the damaged fuel element, improves the stability after placement, and can also isolate the damaged fuel elements in pairs to avoid mutual collision during transportation.

A discharge hole and a sliding hole are provided on the conical base 18, and the discharge hole can be closed and opened by a sliding plugging member 19. When the storage container 1 needs to be placed into the transport cylinder 17, the sliding plugging member 19 is used to disengage it from the position of the discharge hole. At this time, the discharge hole is connected to the inside of the transport cylinder 17, and the storage container 1 can be placed into the transport cylinder 17 through the discharge hole. After placement, the sliding plugging member 19 blocks the discharge hole to achieve sealed covering of the storage container 1.

After the operation is completed, the hook head 29 can be fixed to the conical base 18 by bolts, so that the sealing head 15 can be fixed. At this time, the sealing head 15 blocks the discharge hole to prevent the storage container 1 placed in the transport cylinder 17 from sliding out during transportation, thereby improving the safety of transportation.
