To effect radiation testing of material samples in a nuclear reactor, the samples are contained in capsules placed end to end in a container. A compressive force is applied to the capsules to eliminate vibration during reactor operation. The capsules 20 are coupled together, to form the assembly 10, and are placed in a rectangular section container for insertion in the reactor. The end caps 20a and 20b have complementary angled surfaces which permit relative lateral displacement of the capsules when a longitudinal compressive force is applied at 12. The lateral displacement brings the capsules into engagement with the container inner surfaces. The end caps 20a and 20b are joined by the loosely fitting member 36 retained by the pin 52, the bore 48 having a larger diameter than 36.
