Abstract
A container for enclosing particulate or piece-formed radioactive material which is to be converted into a solid body by isostatic pressing at a high temperature and a high pressure. The container may have a corrugated sheath and suitably a plane lid and a plane bottom. The corrugation makes possible axial compression of the container prior to the pressing. The container may also have a cylindrical sheath and bellows projecting into the sheath and joining the sheath of the container to a lid and a bottom. The bellows make it possible to insert the lid and the bottom by gas pressure, so that the material present in the container is axially compressed.
