Radiation dose assessment from NORM residue used in the circular economy
2024 - NISTI, MARCELO; SAUEIA, CATIA; DAMATTO, SANDRA; MADUAR, MARCELO
Biota and human beings are exposed to naturally occurring radionuclides present in several natural resources [1]. Phosphogypsum (PG) is classified as a Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM) residue of the phosphate fertilizer industry. PG residue presents in its composition radionuclides of the natural U and Th decay series and stored in stacks by the phosphate industries, which can represent risks to environment and human from the radiological protection point of view, such as: atmospheric contamination, pollution of groundwater, trace elements and radionuclides, radon emanation, inhalation of dust and direct exposure to gamma radiation. Some possible applications of this residue are soil conditioners, resulting in an increase of agriculture productivity, or building materials [2]. The Brazilian regulatory body ruled that PG would only be permitted for use in agriculture if 226Ra and 228Ra activity concentrations do not exceed 1 Bq g-1, for each radionuclide [3]. On the other hand, the safe reuse of PG residue avoids depletion of non-renewable resources, decreases the stacks and consequent reduces the possible environmental impact. Also adds value to PG, considering the principles of sustainable development and the principle of the circular economy. This study's aims were to evaluate the estimated radiation doses in biotas and humans considering two scenarios: PG stack and application of PG in agriculture, using the ERICA Tool 2.0 [4] and NORMALYSA Tool 2.0 [5]. For the PG stack, estimated radiation doses (external and internal) to the worker and biota around the stack were evaluated. In the agriculture (soil amended with PG residue), the estimated radiation doses to the farmer (external and internal), consumers of agricultural products (internal) and biota (external and internal) were evaluated. In this paper, one application per year of PG residue in the soil and the maximum value of the Brazilian regulatory were considered.

Radiological implications of using phosphogypsum as building material
2020 - MAZZILLI, B.P.; CAMPOS, M.P.; NISTI, M.B.; SAUEIA, C.H.R.; MADUAR, M.F.
Phosphogypsum, a waste byproduct derived from the production of phosphoric acid, is being worldwide stock-piled, posing concerns about the environmental problems originating from this practice. Considerations about the viability of the safe reuse of this material have been raised, among them its potential use as building material. However, as phosphogypsum can contain natural radionuclides in significant concentrations, using it as a build-ing material has radiological implications, which presently prevent such application. In order to evaluate the feasibility of using phosphogypsum in the manufacturing of building elements such as bricks and plates, a com-prehensive research was undertaken in Brazil, following a multiple approach. This research included studies related to: Brazilian phosphogypsum characterization; experimental determination of radon exhalation rate; and application of theoretical models to forecast both radon exhalation and external doses in dwellers. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the research carried out in Brazil is presented.
Optimization of the gamma-ray spectrometry counting time based on uncertainties of radionuclides concentration in samples
2020 - NISTI, M.B.; MADUAR, M.F.; SAUEIA, C.H.R.; CAVALCANTE, F.; MAZZILLI, B.P.
This paper aims to propose an easy and fast method of optimization of the gamma-ray spectrometry counting time in determining natural radionuclides (210Pb, 212Pb, 214Pb, 212Bi, 214Bi and 228Ac) in order to minimize uncertainties in the concentration. The samples were measured by gamma-ray spectrometry with a hyper-pure germanium detector Canberra, 25% relative efficiency, effective resolution of 1.9 keV on the 1332.5 keV 60Co with associated electronics and coupled to a microcomputer. Multichannel Maestro A65-I model was used for spectrum acquisition and peak net area determination, and WinnerGamma/Interwinner 6.01 software was used for gamma-ray spectra analysis and to calculate the concentrations and associated uncertainties. The counting times used were 86,000 s and 150,000 s.
