Overview of Brazilian industrial radiography accidents with cutaneous radiation syndrome

Reconstructive dosimetry for cutaneous radiation syndrome

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a relatively significant number of radiological accidents have occurred in recent years mainly because of the practices referred to as potentially high-risk activities, such as radiotherapy, large irradiators and industrial radiography, especially in gammagraphy assays. In some instances, severe injuries have occurred in exposed person...

Radiation Safety Analysis, 2 Models of Industrial Radiography Techniques in Tubes Testing Using SuperMc 3.2

In this article, we used SuperMc 3.2 Software for have studied two models of welding radiographic techniques that are more common in radiographs (Dobell Walls and Single Image (DWSI) and Single Wall and Single Image (SWSI) technique) , without the use of a collimator and in terms of radiation risk and radiation safety. According to results, Due to the lack of a collimator, the risk of radiation...

Anthropotechnological analysis of industrial accidents in Brazil.

The Brazilian Ministry of Labour has been attempting to modify the norms used to analyse industrial accidents in the country. For this purpose, in 1994 it tried to make compulsory use of the causal tree approach to accident analysis, an approach developed in France during the 1970s, without having previously determined whether it is suitable for use under the industrial safety conditions that p...
