Packaging for the transport and/or storage of radioactive materials includes a lateral packaging body around which an outer radiation protection envelope is disposed, which is made from a plurality of individual annular structures stacked on top of each other. Every structure includes an outer annular wall and a radial heat conductive wall, an outer end of which is secured to the wall, and an inner end of which is in contact with the lateral body. Furthermore, two directly consecutive structures delimit an annular cavity housing at least one radiation protection element, the cavity being closed radially towards the outside by the wall of one or both directly consecutive structures, and axially closed by the radial heat-conducting structure of one and the other of the two structures.

Packaging for the transport and/or storage of radioactive materials, permitting easier production and improved heat conductivity

A packaging device for the transport and/or storage of a radioactive medium generating flammable gases and/or explosives via radiolysis, comprising a plurality of canisters intended to contain the radioactive medium, each canister defining an inner storage space accessible via an opening for filling the medium, on which plug-forming means are mounted. According to the invention, the device also comprises a structure forming a chamber, and means for placing in communication allowing a fluid communication to be set up between the inner storage space and the chamber.
