Elementos para um Plano de Emergência envolvendo o transporte terrestre de material físsil para o Submarino Nuclear Brasileiro

Abstract

The present work focuses on the identification of probable radiologicals and nuclears emergency scenarios, involving the transportation of the fuel element of the Brazilian Nuclear Submarine, a fissile material consisting of nearly 20% enriched uranium, considering the route from Aramar in Iperó/SP to the EBN-PROSUB, in Itaguaí/RJ. For this, a literature review was developed, based on specific literature on Radioprotection and Dosimetry, Nuclear Energy and Naval Sciences. With NE-CNEN 5.01 and other national and international standards applied to the transport of radioactive material, it was possible to describe the main inherent steps, premises and basic requirements for safe and efficient transport, to the safeguarding of the materials, the environment and, especially, of the people. As a focus of the work, an attached spreadsheet, was prepared, containing all identified scenarios and their respective prevention and remediation proposals, to assist future risk management plans and emergency responses to the fuel transportation stage.
