Resolution n. 04, of 19.04.89, of the National Commission of nuclear energy - I GIVE of 09.05.89

Control of the environment–Use of radioactive material in lightning rod–Prohibition

The National Commission of nuclear energy 9 CNEN, using of the attributions that its checks the article 1., interruption I, of the Law n. 6.189, of December 16, 1974, the article 141 of the Ordinance n. 51.726, of February 19, 1963, and the article 21, interruption I of V of the Ordinance n. 75.569, of April 07, 1975, for decision of its Deliberative Commission, in the 534 session accomplished on April 19, 1989.

Considering that is not technically proven that the largest effectiveness of radioactive lightning rod in relation to the conventional ones and that therefore the " beginning " of the justification " foreseen in Norma CNEN-NE-3.01–Basic " Guidelines of Radioprotetion " are not demonstrated;

Considering the need to give appropriate destiny to the radioactive material of the disabled lightning rods,

 

Solve:

To suspend, starting from the validity of this Resolution, the authorization concession for use of radioactive material in lightning rod.

2. the material radioactive remainder of the disabled lightning rods should be picked up to CNEN immediately.

3. this Resolution goes into effect in the date of your publication.
