Abstract:
The invention relates to an assembly consisting of a plurality of packaging bottles (1) for conditioning, storing and transporting radioactive bars or tubes, hereinafter called fagot assembly (2), wherein: said bottles (1) are identical and interchangeable; and said bottles are attached to each other in order to form a fagot or a bundle (2), by means of quick-fastening means (3), said fagot (2) comprising N bottles, N≧2; characterised in that said bottles (1) are formed from steel and are thicker at one of the two ends thereof, over a certain length.
Abstract:
A device for storing dangerous materials includes a mount supporting a containment enclosure for containing dangerous materials. The mount includes a frame surmounted by support members that support the enclosure, each support member including a first element secured to the mount and a second element for supporting the enclosure and that is mounted so as to be movable relative to the first element in a substantially vertical sliding direction. The mount includes at least one impact absorber interposed between the two elements, the at least one impact absorber preventing relative movement between the two elements so long as a force applied to the at least one impact absorber by the two elements is no greater than a predetermined threshold. The at least one impact absorber deforms plastically so as to allow the two elements to move relative to each other.
