    Considered the largest urban radiological accident in the world, the accident in Goiânia with Cesium-137 resulted in the death of four people and injuries in another 49, besides measurable levels of internal or exter-nal contamination in 129. The accident generated also environmental contamination and thousands of tons of radioactive waste that resulted from the response activities. The accident occurred as a result of the disman-tling of an equipment of radiotherapy by employees of a junkyard. Before the accident was identified, con-taminated materials were sent to recycling companies in the state of São Paulo. The objective of this work was to report the existence of waste from Goiânia accident in the state of São Paulo and to check the estimat-ed activities at the time of the waste conditioning by measuring the current dose rates in waste packages, allowing a refinement of previously applied calculations.

    Evaluation of Exhaust System for Gaseous Waste from the Source Production Laboratory for Radiotherapy – IPEN
    2017 - SOUZA, D.C.B. de; COSTA, O.L.; FEHER, A.; GERALDO, B.; CARVALHO, V.S.; BARBOSA, N.K.O.; VICENTE, R.; ZEITUNI, C.A.; ROSTELATO, M.E.C.M.
    Exhaust systems in fume hood for chemicals and hazardous materials as radioactive substances are of great importance for the protection of the Occupationally Exposed Individual and the environment. They protect against external contam-inations by particulate matter, volatile and against inhalation of radioactive gases. This work intends to evaluate the exhaustion system of the Laboratory of Production of Radioactive Sources at the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN).
