Abstract
The container consists of a shielded body having an internal cavity and of a capsule which can be inserted into the cavity and is capable of sliding motion along the axis of this latter. The front face of the capsule is sealed by means of a removable door and the rear face is attached to an operating rod. The cavity is sealed beyond the front face of the capsule by means of a shielded element for positioning a cover opposite to the removable door of the capsule. The cover cooperates with means for permitting leak-tight coupling or uncoupling of the cover and the capsule by displacing these latter in relative motion.
Claims14
A container for radioactive objects of the type comprising on the one hand a shielded body provided with an internal cavity and on the other hand a capsule which can be inserted into said cavity, said capsule which is sealed on its front face by means of a removable door and the rear face of which is rigidly fixed to an operating rod being capable of sliding along the axis of said cavity through one of its extremities, wherein said cavity is sealed beyond the front face of said capsule by means of a shielded element for positioning a cover opposite to the removable door of said capsule, said cover being capable of cooperating with corresponding means arranged within said capsule so as to permit either leak-tight coupling or uncoupling of the cover and the capsule as a result of relative movement of said cover and said capsule.
