Packaging for transporting and/or storing radioactive materials including radially stacked radiation protection elements

摘要

The package has a lateral body (14) with inner and outer concentric metallic collars (22, 24) that jointly form an annular space (18) in which a radiological protection device (20) is housed. The device has radiological protection elements (30, 32) superimposed along radial direction of the package. The elements are in support against the collars, respectively. The elements are in contact with each other along an interface (40) taking form of a truncated or plane segment inclined at a right side with respect to a longitudinal axis of the package. The segment forms angle of 1 and 10 degrees. An independent claim is also included for a method for forming a package.
