Alternativas ao sistema de movimentação de garfos mecânicos para a movimentação de tambores do sistema de processamento de rejeitos radioativos sólidos do labgene(SPRS)

Abstract

The present work delas with the conceptual design topics about the management of radioactive waste, the techniques adopted in Brazil and in the World, following regulations. The nuclear technology is a reality with an increasing demand, however, it is an activity with a high risk, which requires, more and more, safe techniques in its management. Managing radioactive waste responsibly means to ensure the protection for the current generation and to not impose additional burdens on future generations. The objective of strict control over waste produced in a nuclear facility aims, above all, to safeguard the human life and to protect the environment. In view of the techniques of waste management presented, the current study establishes a comparative analysis between the techniques adopted among the nuclear plants and the LABGENE project and, in the end, proposes an alternative to replace the current design, maintaining the safety conditions established by the standards.
