Abstract: A package (100) comprising storage packaging (1) as well as a confinement canister (3) for irradiated fuel, the packaging comprising a lateral body (2) which extends around a longitudinal axis (12) of the packaging and which includes an internal surface (22) which delimits a cavity for housing the canister (3), the packaging furthermore comprising at least one assembly (15) forming a guide rail for the canister in the cavity, mounted on the lateral body (2) and protruding at least partly into the housing cavity (4). According to the invention, the assembly forming a guide rail (15) includes an impact shock absorbing element (28) designed to absorb the shock, by plastic deformation, of a lateral impact between the packaging (1) and the confinement canister (3).

Abstract: The basket comprises a bundle of tubes (10) connected to each other by an assembly structure (14) so as to form a regular network of compartments (16). Cross pieces (12) are placed between the tubes (10) so as to define a second wall approximately continuous around each compartment (16) surrounding the first wall materialized by tubes (10) and at least partially in contact with this wall. Thus, baskets with compartments with arbitrarily shaped cross sections, and particularly square, rectangular, hexagonal or circular cross sections, can be made for a limited cost.
