    Radiochemical characterization of spent filter cartridges from the primary circuit of a research reactor

    Radiochemical-based analyses have been used for the characterization of radioactive waste. Nevertheless, the determination of alpha, beta and gamma emitters by radiochemical analysis of spent cartridge filters from a swimming-pool type reactor has not been previously addressed. This work aims at identifying and quantifying the radionuclides present in this waste, including the difficult to measure radionuclides. The distribution of the radionuclides in the filter was investigated by the determination of gamma-emitting nuclides and the z-score of the measured activity concentrations. The results indicated that all the filters are homogeneous, meeting the homogeneity criteria recommended by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

    Radioactive waste management Goiânia - São Paulo: 30 years later
    2017 - SOUZA, D.C.B. de; GERALDO, B.; TESSARO, A.P.G.; ROSTELATO, M.E.C.M.; MARUMO, J.T.; CARVALHO, V.S.; BARBOSA, N.K.O.; VICENTE, R.
    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.
