METHOD FOR TREATING RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL AND CONTAINER FOR ENCLOSING SUCH MATERIAL
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract of EP0044381
A container (1) for enclosing particulate or piece-formed radioactive material (6) which shall be converted into a solid body by isostatic pressing at a high temperature and a high pressure. The container may have a corrugated sheath (2) and suitably a plane lid (4) and a plane bottom (3). The corrugation makes possible axial compression of the container (1) prior to the pressing. Instead of the corrugated sheath (2) the container may have a cylindrical sheath (side wall) 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 (6) present in the container is axially compressed.
