Artigo IPEN-doc 29779 Digital technology tools to improve professional development in brazilian radioactive facilities2022 - LEVY, D.; SORDI, G.M.A.A.; RODRIGUES, D.L.; CARNEIRO, J.C.G.G.This article focuses on digital technology tools to improve workers' skills in Brazilian radioactive facilities. Uniprorad is a web-based system designed to improve the global communication about radiological protection in this very large country, where it is a strong challenge to ensure high quality professional information to as many people as possible. This article presents the authors' experience in the communication of radiological protection and the evolution of this web-based system. Created in 2013, the system Uniprorad is constantly updated to offer a complete web-based repository in Portuguese for research, consultation and information. The content presents discussions related to optimization (since 2013), monitoring (developed in 2015), potential exposure (since 2017) and communication on occupational risk agents in the workplace (started in 2019). Regarding risk agents in the workplace, the content has been developed to teach the identification and evaluation of the various risk agents (physical, chemical biological and ergonomic) and their association to ionizing radiation. In addition, to concepts, definitions and theory, the Project Uniprorad counts on interactive exercises, about radiological protection taking into account.the best practices for radioactive facilities in order to meet both national standards and international recommendations. The aim of this paper is to provide a critical review of the evolutions of this web-based system to outreach this target audience, and to assist other experts on planning and implementing effective strategies to communicate radiological protection. The results of this experience support the idea that in a rapid-changing world it is a must to invest in constant innovations to improve professional development.Artigo IPEN-doc 27933 Communication about occupational exposure2019 - LEVY, DENISE S.; SORDI, GIAN M.A.A.; RODRIGUES, DEMERVAL L.; CARNEIRO, JANETE C.G.G.Brazil is the largest country of Latin America, with 8.5 million square kilometers divided into five regions with 3 time zones. In this large between-country distances, with plenty of radioactive facilities throughout the country, professional education and communication is a must and a challenge. This paper discusses a web-based project designed to provide effective communication about occupational exposure, linking geographically distant workers to high-quality reliable information. The web-based-project UNIPRORAD counts on concepts, definitions and theory about radiological protection based on both national and international standards, guidelines and recommendations. The content includes optimization, monitoring, potential exposure and communication on occupational risk agents in the workplace. Regarding potential exposures, it is essential to consider the concept of “risk” which, even among scientific community, seems to assume a great variety of meanings. Regarding risk agents in the workplace, it is necessary to discuss the identification and evaluation of the various risk agents (physical, chemical biological and ergonomic) addressing attention to their association to ionizing radiation. This article presentsthe authors' experience in the communication of radiological protection in Brazil, presenting global and specific issues on radiological protection, analyzing recommendations and discussing discrepancies among the several valid publications. It is our objective the dissemination of trustful updated communication, providing radioactive facilities relevant, accurate and understandable information. Finally, the article emphasizes the need to spread information wherever it is needed to inform as many people as possible, contributing to develop workers´ professional skills and to improve safety culture in workplace.Artigo IPEN-doc 23678 Enhancing communication on Radiological Protection throughout Brazil2016 - LEVY, DENISE S.; SORDI, GIAN M.A.A.; RODRIGUES, DEMERVAL L.; CARNEIRO, JANETE C.G.This paper focus on the potential value of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to enhance communication on Radiological Protection throughout Brazil. The servers processing power added to the technology of relational databases allow to integrate information from different sources, enabling complex queries with reduced response time. It is our objective to provide radioactive facilities a complete repository for research, consultation and information on radiological protection in an integrated and efficient way. This webbased project works informatization of Radiological Protection Programs according to the positive tree published by AIEA in its Safety Series No. 102, the most generic and complete tree for an appropriate and effective radiation protection program. Up to this moment, the website counts on concepts, definitions and theory about optimization and monitoring procedures, interrelating information, currently scattered in various publications, in order to meet both Brazilian and international recommendations. The project involves not only the collection and interrelationship of existing information in the several publications, but also new approaches from some recommendations, such as potential exposures. Only few publications develop expressively the issue and, even though they provide fundamental theory, there is still lack of knowledge of failure probabilities, which currently constitutes a broad research field in radiological protection. This research proposes the development of fault trees and the analysis of different scenarios, suggesting paths to quantify probabilistically the occurrence of potential exposures, as well as probabilities to reach a certain level of dose. It is our target to complete the system in a near future, including other relevant issues, such as safe transport of radioactive materials, emergency response, radioactive waste management and decommissioning, among others. We believe the use of information technology for the radiological protection programs shall contribute greatly to provide information to Brazilian radioactive facilities throughout the country, spreading information to as many people as possible, minimizing geographic distances and stimulating communication and development.
