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

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.
