Regularização da licença para operação de instalação de pesquisa 3A pela CNEN

Abstract

Sealed radioactive sources can be used in teaching and research institutions, enabling the practical application of theoretical concepts and making learning more meaningful. However, in order to operate , the sources need to be authorized for operation, which in Brazil is issued by the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN). In this sense, UTFPR has four sealed radioactive sources in its modern physics laboratory, which had to comply with the standards for use. The aim of this work was therefore to draw up an application to the CNEN for authorization to operate the DAFIS laboratory. To do this, it was necessary to develop the radiological protection plan and fill in the selfassessment form, following the guidelines of the Guide for the Licensing and Control of Low-Risk Radiological Facilities. In addition, the requirements of CNEN Standard NN 3.01 (Basic Radiological Protection Guidelines) and CNEN Standard NN 6.02 (Licensing of Radiological Facilities) were met. At the end of this work, all the required documentation was drawn up and submitted, resulting in the application being approved by CNEN. As a result, the sealed radioactive sources at UTFPR’s modern physics laboratory have been duly regularized and are ready for operation, guaranteeing safety and compliance with current regulations.
