ABSTRACT:
In a container comprising a drum and a cover, the cover is locked on to the drum by providing, on the cover periphery, a series of vertical tongues inclined towards the outside in such a way that their end can be located beneath a shoulder of the drum. The part of the cover which bears on the upper edge of the drum is elastically deformable so as to facilitate latching in place. An injection shaft formed in the cover makes it possible to inject into the drum a material for covering the radioactive waste contained therein. This configuration permits an automation of the conditioning and storage of the waste.
