Resumo
Transport is an important part of the worldwide nuclear industry and the safety record for
nuclear transport across the world is excellent. The increase in the use of radioactive materials in our
country requires that these materials be moved from production sites to the end user. Despite the
number of packages transported, the number of incidents and accidents in which they are involved is
low. In Brazil, do not be records of victims of the radiation as a result of the transport of radioactive
materials and either due to the accidents happened during the transports. The absence of victims of the
radiation as result of accidents during the transports is a highly significant fact, mainly to consider that
annually approximately two hundred a thousand packages containing radioactive material are
consigned for transport throughout the country, of which eighty a thousand are for a medical use. This
is due to well-founded regulations developed by governmental and intergovernmental organizations
and to the professionalism of those in the industry. In this paper, an overview is presented of the
activities related to the transport of radioactive material in the state of São Paulo. The applicable
legislation, the responsibilities and tasks of the competent authorities are discussed. The categories of
radioactive materials transported and the packaging requirements for the safe transport of these
radioactive materials are also described. It also presents the packages amounts of carried and the
accidents occurred during the transport of radioactive materials, in the last five years. The main
occurred events are argued, demonstrating that the demanded requirements of security for any
transport of radioactive material are enough to guarantee the necessary control of ionizing radiation
expositions to transport workers, members of general public and the environment.
