Abstract: Road safety barrier comprising: concrete bottom parts (1); concrete top parts (2) coupled on the bottom parts (1), and attaching means (3, 31) of the successive top parts (2) at their opposite ends. The bottom parts (1) have an upper surface provided with a longitudinal channel (11) for coupling in the longitudinal direction and with the possibility of limited vertical displacement of a longitudinal extension (21) protruding from a lower surface of the top parts (2); the channel (11) and the extension (21) have similar cross-sections and dimensions calculated so that the top part performs a lateral rotation of a determined amplitude, in the event of a vehicle impact, and absorbs a significant part of its kinetic energy.

Abstract: System for storing radioactive materials comprising: —a canister (4) containing radioactive waste; —a container (C), provided with a casing (1), a base (2) and a cover (3), and a passive helicoidal convection-based ventilation system provided with: lower air inlets (5); an area (6) of air circulation between the canister (4) and the inner surface of the container (C), and upper air outlets (7); the inlets (5) and outlets (7) have a decreasing variation of section in the direction of air circulation, are curved and facing an oblique direction with respect to the radial direction of the container, the air between said inlets (5) and outlets (7) describing an upward helicoidal path around the capsule or canister (4).

Abstract: The system comprises a limited number of equal groups of formwork pieces, each group comprising: —intermediate pieces (1) of constant curvature and width along the entire length thereof and—end pieces (2) forming two symmetrical lateral corners of triangular or trapezoidal outline, with a curvature equal to that of the intermediate pieces. This system allows for forming, with the same groups of pieces, successive formwork segments of varying or constant section for building towers. The invention also includes a building method and the tower thus obtained.
