Description

The training of firemen and other personnel to deal with fires and emergencies involving radioactive materials has been recognized as being of extreme importance by the International Agencies for a number of years. It is not the intent to train firemen to become radiation specialists, nor to qualify them to deal effectively with radiation hazards with which they may be confronted, but rather to serve as a basis for acquainting them with the problems in general and to prepare them for more specialized training.

Abstract (Portuguese)

O treinamento de oficiais do Corpo de Bombeiros para lidar com fogo e emergencias envolvendo materiais radioativos tem sido reconhecido por todos os organismos internacionais ligados a Radioprotecao e Dosimetria, como de extrema importancia. Naturalmente nao existe a intencao de transformar esses oficiais em especialistas em radiacao, nem qualifica-los para efetivamente lidar com qualquer perigo envolvendo radiacao. O objetivo basico e simplesmente criar uma base de conhecimento para resolver problemas gerais, e prepara-los para enfrentar casos mais especificos. (Autor)
