L'invention se rapporte à un ensemble (100) comprenant un emballage (1) de transport et/ou d'entreposage de matières radioactives ainsi qu'une structure de manutention amovible (30) conçue pour être accouplée de manière démontable sur la première extrémité axiale (8a) d'un corps latéral d'emballage, la structure de manutention (30) comprenant un dispositif de support (32), ainsi qu'au moins deux organes distincts (40) de manutention de l'emballage. La première extrémité (8a) comporte un ou plusieurs éléments (52) de retenue axiale de la structure de manutention (30), tandis que la structure de manutention (30) comporte au moins un dispositif de préhension (42) comprenant un organe (46) d'accouplement axial à la première extrémité axiale (8a). De plus, en configuration accouplée de la structure de manutention (30), chaque organe d'accouplement axial (46) est au contact ou en regard axialement d'une surface de butée axiale (60) de l'élément de retenue axiale (52). Figure pour l'abrégé: Figure 2. An assembly includes a package for transporting and/or storing radioactive materials as well as a removable handling structure designed to be removably coupled on the first axial end of a lateral package body, the handling structure comprising a support device, as well as at least two separate package handling members. The first end includes one or more axial holding elements of the handling structure, whereas the handling structure includes at least one gripping device comprising an axial coupling member to the first axial end. Furthermore, in the coupled configuration of the handling structure, each axial coupling member is in contact or axially facing an axial stop surface of the axial holding element.
