Resumo
Radioactive lightning rods (RLR)
were manufactured and installed in Brazil for
almost two decades, before they were prohibited
in 1989. Structures protected by this type of
lightning preventers included residential buildings, schools, commercial and industrial facilities, among others. It is estimated that about
3.4 TBq of 241Am were used by manufacturers,
and a total of 75,000 pieces with a mean activity of about 46 MBq were in the market.
While only a fraction of the total has been
recovered, the almost twenty thousand pieces
already collected at the Nuclear and Energy
Research Institute (IPEN) had their sources
successfully separated from the remaining recyclable metal scrap and are now encapsulated
in lead containers for final disposal.
