Shock-absorbers (5, 6) are mounted above and under the cylindrical container for carrying irradiated elements of a reactor. These shock-absorbers are made of two walls between which is sandwiched balsa as an energy-absorbing material. In certain applications, the shock-absorber may be toroidal. During a shock resulting from a free fall on a hard surface, the kinetic energy of the container is uniformly dissipated, without deceleration peak. |
