Abstract
A packaging for transporting and/or storing radioactive materials, the lateral body of which has a thickness change zone defining a transition surface, and including a portion of reduced thickness extending from the transition surface towards a first axial end of the lateral body, this portion of reduced thickness including an inner surface laterally delimiting a recessed zone of the lateral body, also delimited axially by the transition surface. Moreover, the packaging includes a portion reconstituting the lateral body extending around the longitudinal axis, arranged removably in the recessed zone, and having an inner surface that laterally delimits a portion of the housing cavity intended to receive the mass of radioactive materials.
