- Release of alpha emitters into the environment by nuclear industries of Brazil in Resende W. S. Pereira A. Kelecom R. Santos M. F. M. Santos V. R. M. Torres J. J. S. Rodrigues C. M. Salgado I. C. R. P. Valadão Biología Alpha emitters nuclear fuel factory atmospheric effluents During its operation, the Nuclear Fuel Factory of the Nuclear Industries of Brazil (FCN/INB) may generate and disseminate particulate material. Therefor, aiming occupational control, a system of air exhaustion is installed equipped with a system of automatic detection of release of radionuclides into the environment. The present work aims to evaluate the radionuclides released by FCN, in terms of total release and activity concentration (AC). Along 2016, the amount of 4.14∙106 Bq was released, which means a mean of 3.45∙105 Bq.month-1 . The largest mean for AC was 4.03 mBq∙m-3 . The release data was almost an order of magnitude lower than the annual release limit established by the regulatory agency, fixed at 1.2∙107 Bq.y-1 , proving the adequacy of the atmospheric effluents to the licensing requirements. The largest magnitudes of the two variables (AC and release) were observed in August while the smallest ones, in January. 2019 artículo científico 2319-0612 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=722280898008 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7222 Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Proteção Radiológica - SBPR Brazilian Journal of Radiation Sciences (Brasil) Num.2B Vol.7
