Abstract
A method of containing radioactive or other dangerous material separately or intermixed with a bonding compound of a material, resistant to leaching by water, in a gas-tight container and of converting the material by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) into a dense body. The material is filled into a cylindrical container having a corrugated bellows-like wall. The dangerous material is prevented from filling up the annular spaces formed by the corrugations, by means of a barrier means placed inside the container. A metallic netting combined with a paper-like sheet of ceramic material makes a suitable barrier means.
