A method of storing radioactive waste, comprising the steps of: (a) providing an upwardly open cast-iron vessel having a closed bottom, a solid wall unitary therewith and an upwardly open mouth; (b) closing said mouth by sealing engaging a cast-iron lid thereof, said lid being formed with separate vertically throughgoing intake and outlet passages and providing in said vessel at least one flow deflector aligned beneath said outlet passage; (c) surrounding said vessel with a heating jacket; (d) introducing into said vessel through said intake passage a radioactive liquid; (e) evacuating said vessel through said outlet passage and simultaneously heating said vessel with said jacket to evaporate liquid from said vessel and form vapors which are withdrawn past said deflector through said outlet passage; and (f) upon completion of filling of said vessel with a residue resulting from the evaporation of liquid from the contents of said vessel, hermetically engaging a cover over said passages.
