A basket () for transport and/or storage packaging of radioactive materials. The basket () comprises an internal partition () having at least one wall (), and a peripheral partition (). The wall () has two opposing lateral surfaces (). The peripheral partition () interacts with the internal partition () to define cells for housing the radioactive materials. The peripheral partition () comprises a housing accommodating one end of the at least one wall (). The housing comprises two opposing lateral housing surfaces () and a bottom () bringing together the two lateral surfaces () of the housing. According to the invention, the basket () comprises a tightening element configured to press at least one of the lateral surfaces () of the wall against at least one of the lateral surfaces () of the housing.

Basket for transport and/or storage of radioactive materials

A removable storage device intended to be housed in a cavity of a form of packaging for transporting and/or storing radioactive materials, including several substructures movable relative to one another, positioned around a longitudinal axis, and defining multiple adjacent recesses for radioactive materials, together with means for deployment of the substructures including actuation means acting by shape collaboration on the substructures through a bearing surface having, in a section according to any plane passing through longitudinal axis, the shape of a segment inclined relative to this axis, such that displacement of actuation means in a first direction parallel to longitudinal axis causes a displacement of the substructures radially towards the exterior relative to longitudinal axis.
