Section: claims

1. An apparatus used for storing radioactive material comprising:an external casing;a primary shielding;a secondary shielding;a control rod;the external casing comprising a base section and a central receiving hole;the primary shielding comprising a first rod receiving hole;the secondary shielding comprising a second rod receiving hole;the control rod comprising a hollow cylindrical portion;the primary shielding and the secondary shielding being positioned within the external casing;the central receiving hole traversing through the base section;the primary shielding being positioned adjacent the base section;the secondary shielding being positioned adjacent the primary shielding opposite to the base section;the central receiving hole, the first rod receiving hole and the second rod receiving hole being concentrically aligned to each other forming a channel;the control rod traversing into the channel through the central receiving hole;the hollow cylindrical portion being slidably positioned within the channel;the primary shielding further comprising an inner lip, a top surface and a bottom surface;the first rod receiving hole traversing from the bottom surface of the primary shielding to the top surface of the primary shielding;the inner lip being positioned within the first rod receiving hole and adjacent the bottom surface of the primary shielding; andthe hollow cylindrical portion resting against the inner lip in response to the hollow cylindrical portion being in a shielded configuration so as to prevent the hollow cylindrical portion from passing through the bottom surface of the primary shielding. 2. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:the external casing furtherer comprising a plurality of lateral walls;each of the plurality of lateral walls being adjacently connected to the base section; andthe primary shielding and the secondary shielding being positioned within the plurality of lateral walls. 3. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:the control rod further comprising a body, a handle and a set of locking pins;the handle being adjacently connected to the body;the set of locking pins extending outwards from the body; andthe set of locking pins being positioned adjacent the handle. 4. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 3 further comprising the hollow cylindrical portion being adjacently connected to the body, opposite the handle. 5. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising the primary shielding being offset from the base section. 6. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:the secondary shielding further comprising a top surface and a bottom surface; andthe second rod receiving hole traversing from the bottom surface of the secondary shielding to the top surface of the secondary shielding. 7. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:the central receiving hole comprising a cylindrical portion and a set of extended cavities; andeach of the set of extended cavities being positioned adjacent the cylindrical portion. 8. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 7 further comprising:the control rod further comprising a body and a set of locking pins;the set of locking pins extending outwards from the body;the set of locking pins being aligned with the set of extended cavities; andthe body being concentrically aligned with the cylindrical portion. 9. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:the control rod further comprising a set of locking pins; andthe set of locking pins being positioned adjacent to the base section and opposite the primary shielding. 10. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:the control rod further comprising a set of locking pins; andthe set of locking pins being positioned in between the primary shield and the base section in response to the hollow cylindrical portion being in an exposed configuration. 11. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:a cover; andthe cover being hingedly connected to the external casing opposite the base section for concealing an opening of the external casing. 12. The apparatus used for storing radioactive material as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:a wireless control unit;the wireless control unit comprising a wireless signal receiver, a control circuit and a motor;the wireless signal receiver, the control circuit and the motor being electronically connected to each other;the motor being mechanically engaged to the control rod; andthe control rod being slidable along a single axis.
