Resumo
In the beginning of this year, I had to report the events related to the accident
with 137Cs in Goiânia under a personal stance, what led me to a process of catharsis.
After participating in such a significant event, and today, after reviewing historical
events by means of published papers and newspaper reports, it is notorious the
difference between the chaos that I experienced there and the order and clarity of
the facts that I perceive today. As in the phrase attributed to Heraclitus, "No man
ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the
same man", during the three months while I worked as a radioprotection technician,
I plunged into a sea of emotions, closely accompanying the evolution of the health of
some radiation victims, and working in the decontamination and demolition of their
houses.
The unknowns, the dedication of some professionals and the disdain of others,
along with the unusual facts that the response team and the patients were facing,
gave me a sad and hilarious tone that served as a backdrop to the official history of
the accident of Goiânia.
