Description
Radioactive lighting rods are being replaced since the National Commission on Nuclear Energy lifted the authorization to use radioactive sources in these consumer products. Most of the rods containing Ra-226 or Am-241 are being sent to the Instituto de Pesquisas Energeticas e Nucleares, IPEN, where a facility for the disassembling and decontamination of this radioactive waste was commissioned. A description of the facility and the process of extraction of the radioactive sources is given. The problems associated to the management of this waste are also presented.
