    In the oil industry, radioactive wastes are generated in the oil production platforms containing natural radionuclides, such as 226Ra and 228Ra, the NORM waste. This waste is mainly in the form of produced water, sludge and scales which should be characterized for the correct final destination. The Brazilian laws establish that the NORM wastes from the oil production must comply with Law 10308 of November 20, 2001, which determine in its article 7, "The disposal of radioactive waste of any kind in the oceanic islands, the continental shelf and the Brazilian territorial waters is prohibited." Therefore, the NORM waste from offshore oil extraction rigs should be transported to onshore facilities. There are two options for the destination of this material: industrial landfill, in the case of activity concentrations are below clearance limits established by Brazilian Nuclear Commission, CNEN; or on the contrary, to intermediate storage facilities, until final disposal is decided. Currently, the oil production companies take samples from the waste and send them to radiometric laboratories in order to evaluate their activity concentration by gamma spectrometry. The complete process takes more than six months to be concluded. Nuclear and Energy Research Institute, IPEN, is making efforts to solve the management problems of NORM waste from oil extraction, including conduct research aiming at characterizing the waste. The objective of the paper is to present the results of in situ characterization of drums containing oil sludge using portable gamma spectrometers.

    Inorganic chemical composition by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry of the mineral waters from the Minas Gerais Water Circuit, Brazil
    2021 - WAKASUGI, D.S.M.; DAMATTO, S.R.; MENEGHINI, A.A.; SANTOS, L.A.B.; SALVADOR, V.L.R.
    The water parks located in the cities of Cambuquira, Caxambu, Conceição do Rio Verde, Lambari and Marimbeiro are part of the Water Circuit of Minas Gerais and have their mineral waters regularly consumed by the local population and tourists motivated by the medicinal use of these waters, characterized as mineral waters. Therefore, the objective of this work was to determine the inorganic chemical composition of the mineral water from these parks, analysing the elements Ag, As, Ba, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K. Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Ti, V and Zn using the energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence – EDXRF. Despite the proximity to one another, each park has different chemical elements and concentrations. The elements presenting the highest concentrations were the major elements Ca, Fe, K and Mn. However, among the five water parks studied, the Water Park of Caxambu presented the highest concentrations for all the determined elements.
