Abstract
Shock-absorbing system integral with a transport or storage container for radioactive material, characterised in that it comprises at least one casing (4,7) covering at least part of said container (1,2) and forming an enclosed space filled with a stack of elementary pieces (6) having at least three converging axes of symmetry whose symmetry in rotation is at least 3-fold, for example small, solid or hollow spheres.
