Abstract
In order to establish a Radiation Protection Plan or a Radiation Emergency Plan, Brazilian facilities should take into account all procedures based on national and international guidelines and recommendations. This information can be found in several documents published by different organizations over the past decades: the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Comissao Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN). Therefore, this project aims the informatization of the radiological protection programs in a single system in order to offer unified programs and inter-related information in Portuguese, providing Brazilian facilities a complete repository for research, consultation and information, combining computer technology and radiological protection in order to enhance the best benefits from information technology. This research work includes programs about: (1) Monitoring of Workplace (Monitoring for External Radiation, Monitoring for Surface Contamination, Monitoring for Air Contamination) and (2) Individual Monitoring (Monitoring of External Exposure and Monitoring of Internal Exposure, Monitoring for Skin and Clothing). WEB platform tools and functionalities were developed according to target public needs, regarding new possibilities of media, mobile access, and information sharing. The servers processing power added to the technology of relational databases allow to integrate information from different sources, enabling complex queries with reduced response time. Moreover, taking into account this is a pioneer project with the prospect of long-term use, the challenge involves the combination of multiple computer technologies that allows a robust, effective and flexible system, which can be easily adapted to future technological innovations.
Highlights
In order to establish a Radiological Protection Plan or a Radiological Emergency Plan, Brazilian facilities should take into account all procedures based on both national and international standards, guidelines and recommendations
This information can be found in several documents published by different organizations over the past decades, namely: the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN)
The ICPR provides recommendations and guidance on all aspects to protect the environment and individuals against the harmful effects produced by ionizing radiation. These recommendations are grounded in the reports of the “United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation” (UNSCEAR) and reports of the "Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiations" (BEIR)
Summary
In order to establish a Radiological Protection Plan or a Radiological Emergency Plan, Brazilian facilities should take into account all procedures based on both national and international standards, guidelines and recommendations This information can be found in several documents published by different organizations over the past decades, namely: the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN). Plan should contain, taking into account that plans for similar radioactive installations may have different descriptions, the information is not presented in a logical sequence, nor have detailed and specific comments for programs to the approved This project aims the informatization of monitoring policy and techniques programs in a single system in order to offer unified and inter-related information in Portuguese, providing Brazilian facilities a complete repository for research, consultation and information in a quick, integrated and efficient way. Combining computer technology and radiological protection in order to enhance the best benefits from information technology, this research project aims to provide answers to all reasonable questions applied to different needs, scenarios and situations related to monitoring of workplace and individual monitoring [02 – 03]
