Abstract

SALVETTI, Tereza C. Proposal for implementation of the integrated management system for radioactive waste treatment and storage unit of low and medium radiation levels of the Project RMB. 2015. 115 p. Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear)-Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares-IPEN-CNEN/SP. São Paulo. The Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor (RMB) is a project being developed by the Research and Development (DPD) Directorate of the National Nuclear Energy Commission (CNEN), with the main objective of supplying the country with radioisotopes for medical application (health), industry, agriculture and the environment. This project has several stages of development, each one with very specific knowledge for the effective operation of its facilities, as well as legal and regulatory details that need to be met. The Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA) and CNEN are respectively responsible for environmental and nuclear licensing. These regulatory agencies have guidelines to prepare the necessary documentation for the licensing processes for nuclear and radioactive facilities, but it was not possible identify clearly the guidelines for the facilities dedicated to the treatment and storage of radioactive wastes. The RMB will generate radioactive waste and will have a facility for treatment, conditioning and storage, for which it will also be necessary to generate specific documentation dedicated to its licensing process. Faced with the lacuna in the structuring guideline and elaboration of the specific documents for this type of installation, it was necessary to carry out a survey of laws, regulations and norms related to this type of business and that will be adopted as reference in the structuring of such documents. The objective of this work was to carry out a survey and alignment of the applicable laws, regulations and standards, structuring the requirements in a Management System (SG), whose scope covers the treatment and storage of the RMB radioactive waste. This SG should provide guidelines for the preparation of licensing documents and promote the management of radioactive waste generated by the RMB and should address best practices in order to observe the safety of the facility and the processes involved.
