Abstract: A container for transporting and/or storing radioactive materials, comprising a body delimiting a cavity for housing the radioactive materials, the container including at least one radiological protection enclosure formed by enclosure wall elements, each enclosure delimiting with its elements a single space wherein a radiological protection device (28) comprising a plurality of prefabricated blocks arranged in succession along a given direction, so as to face each other, is disposed. At least several blocks are each held on at least one of the elements by at least one holding member cooperating with this block and with the at least one of the associated enclosure wall elements.

Abstract: A package for transporting and/or storing a set of radioactive materials, comprising an internal shock-absorber housed in the containment chamber and having one or more layers of tubes for absorbing shocks by plastic deformation, the tubes having an annular or substantially annular cross-section. The number and dimensions of the tubes are such that, in an axial view of the package, the ratio of the cumulative projected area of all the tubes in the layer to the surface area defined by the notional circle of smallest diameter in which all these tubes are circumscribed is greater than 0.2. In addition, a minimum transverse spacing is provided between the tubes of a single layer.

Abstract: A system for supporting packaging for transporting radioactive materials, configured to allow the packaging to be moved from a horizontal position for transport into a vertical position for use. The system includes: a support chassis; a first lateral support device for supporting a top end part of the packaging; a pivoting support system, mounted with the ability to pivot on the support chassis so as to be able to pivot with respect to same and with respect to the first lateral support device when the packaging is being tilted, the pivoting support system comprising: a second lateral support device for supporting a bottom end part of the packaging; and an axial support device for the bottom-end part of the packaging.

Abstract: A package for transporting and/or storing radioactive materials, comprises a cavity for housing radioactive materials, as well as a radiological protection device comprising radiological protection elements arranged in an annular space, at least two successive radiological protection elements along a given direction of the annular space, from a longitudinal direction and a circumferential direction, and a locking member designed to limit and/or prevent the distancing of the two radiological protection elements relative to one another in a given direction.

Abstract: The invention concerns a package for transporting and/or storing radioactive materials. The package comprises a wall element (26) and a cooling element (31, 32) attached to the wall element (26) and protruding from the wall element (26) towards the outside of the package. The cooling element (31, 32) comprises a base (40) and at least one fin (35) rigidly connected to the base (40). The base (40) extends to either side of the fin (35) respectively towards two opposing lateral ends of the base, each of the lateral ends being attached to the wall element (26) via a weld.

Abstract: Packaging for transporting and/or storing radioactive material, comprising a packaging body which defines therein a cavity for housing radioactive material, and at least one shock absorber which is mounted on the outside of the packaging body, which has an outer surface provided with at least one first outer surface and one second outer surface which are separated by an edge that is covered by the shock absorber. The absorber comprises a metal damping structure comprising a first recess having an imaginary straight line extending therethrough, the line passing through both a center of gravity of the packaging and a point on the edge, a second recess arranged so as to face one of the outer surfaces, and a metal wall for absorbing shocks by plastic deformation. The wall is at least 5 mm thick and defines the first and second recesses on either side thereof.
