Resumo
Brazil is a multicultural South American country has had the influence of the pre-Columbian
native civilizations, the Portuguese and African colonization and lately the European colonization
especially from Germany and Italy, not to mention that Brazil is home to the largest
Japanese population outside Japan. In addition other factors, this situation makes the country
own a vast variety collection of historic value objects. Brazilian weather conditions have
been affected directly tangible materials causing deterioration besides on insects and fungi
attack. Natural disasters particularly floods also have been affected many collections inside
the country. Within this scenario, the
-radiation processing arises as an alternative to
traditional methods to the disinfection of cultural heritage artefacts and archived materials.
Over the last years, the Nuclear and Energy Research Institute (IPEN), mainly through the
Multipurpose Gamma Irradiation Facility located inside the São Paulo University campus,
started a strong interaction programme with conservation and preservation institutions and
too with the conservation community to disclose the irradiation technique. Currently, this
facility has irradiated for disinfection purposes effectively several works of art, museum
collections artefacts, books, manuscripts, drawings, archive documents, musical instruments,
ethnographic objects, archaeological findings, natural history collections among
others from various regions of the country.
-irradiation has several advantages when
compared with conventional preservation methods mainly related to the safety, efficiency,
reliability, capacity, process time and safe for environment. The success obtained in Brazil
with these applications is due to the support of the IAEA to many regional projects related
to the nuclear techniques applied to cultural heritage preservation and research. The IAEA
policies are helping to understand that the cultural heritage is a legacy of physical artefacts
and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations,
maintained in the present and restored for the benefit of future generations.
