Resumo
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Network of Analytical Laboratories for the Measurement
of Environmental Radioactivity (ALMERA) is a worldwide network of laboratories capable of
providing reliable and timely analysis of radionuclides in environmental samples during normal or
accidental/intentional events that result in the release of radioactivity in the environment. ALMERA
is coordinated by the Environment Laboratories of the IAEA and organized into five regional groups,
including the North and Latin America region (NLAR), led by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
Capacity building in the NLAR for the measurements of environmental radioactivity is achieved
through qualitative study that consists of experiences of ALMERA core activities and perspectives of
the regional initiatives, respectively. Outcomes’ analysis showed that the ALMERA core activities have
contributed to the improvements of the analytical capacity and capability, and the regional initiatives
assisted in the strengthening of the collaboration and networking, in the NLAR region. The immediate
impact of these achievements consisted of gaining technical competence in measuring environmental
radioactivity and establishing a network of laboratories. In the long term, sustained efforts between
ALMERA and the regional coordination will continue upgrading national and regional competence in
the radio analytical services.
