Description

A study of the behaviour of Technetium 99m is performed to know if it is possible its use as radiotracer in the evaluation of massecuite crystalizer C or of third. After positive results, it was done a comparative study of the measured doses provoked by the use of iodine 131 and of Technetium 99m on this sugar cane installation. We reached the conclusion that technetium 99m is an obliged substitute of Iodine 131 because it is a radiotracer with better radiologic characteristics to be used on the food-production industry, for example in the sugar cane industry
