Abstract: The invention relates to a package (2) for the transport and/or storage of radioactive materials, including a lateral body (10) which defines a cavity (6) for housing radioactive materials which extends along a longitudinal axis (8), where the body (10) includes an interior wall (22) together with an exterior wall (22) which between them define a space (14) which extends around said longitudinal axis (8), where said space houses means of radiological protection (18) as well as means of thermal conduction (16). According to the invention, the means of thermal conduction includes multiple thermal conduction elements (31) each defining internally a void which extends lengthways in a direction of conduction (36) which runs from the interior wall (20) towards the exterior wall (22).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) for transporting and/or storing radioactive materials (10), comprising a closed enclosure (8) and a system (12, 16) for securing said closed enclosure, said system comprising catalytic means (12) for recombining hydrogen and oxygen into water, placed in said closed enclosure. According to the invention, the system for securing said closed enclosure further comprises a device (16) for the controlled release of oxygen in said closed enclosure (8).

Abstract: Methods and devices for removing inflammable gases produced by radiolysis in a closed chamber containing radioactive matters comprising organic compounds and possibly water, or radioactive matters in the presence of organic compounds and possibly water. Inside the chamber there may be placed a catalyst of at least one reaction for oxidizing the inflammable gases by oxygen contained in the chamber atmosphere, supported by an inert solid support; a catalyst of at least the reaction for oxidizing CO to CO2; possibly an oxygen source; and possibly a hygroscopic microporous inert solid support. Also, chambers for radioactive matters containing such devices.
