Abstract
The disclosure relates to packaging and storage containers suitable particularly for the packaging and storage, with optimum filling, of remote-handled hazardous waste; a process for filling the containers; and the implementation of the process for the packaging and storage of compacted nuclear waste. The containers are equipped inside, along one or more axial walls, over substantially the whole of their height h, with locking elements capable of undergoing elastic radial deformation on direct contact with the products introduced therein, the locking elements allowing the introduction and movement of products inside the containers only when force is applied to the products.
