The IBP gathered, on the last day 26, industry agents for the launch of the Good Practices Notebook for E&P – Guidelines for Managing Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM). In addition to members from operating companies, the event also featured representatives from the National Commission on Nuclear Energy (CNEN), the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), and the Ministry of Labor, agencies that also participated in the development of the guide.

An initiative of the Health, Safety, and Environment Committee (HSE Committee) of the IBP, through the working group on Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (GT NORM), the publication aims to provide guidance on managing this type of material, focusing on the safety and radiological protection of workers and the environment.

“This notebook, specifically, seeks to contribute to the entire chain, to the whole process that includes the storage, handling, monitoring, and disposal of NORM. The more we standardize, the more we understand that this is the best possible procedure based on the knowledge we have, obviously, we can manage risk in a much more successful way,” defended Carlos Henrique Mendes, Executive Manager of SMS and Operations at IBP.

The coordinator of the publication, Ana Paula Guimarães Pereira, emphasized the importance of other companies in the process of developing the manual, aimed at sharing common doubts. “We were able to bring in the main operators who are already facing this dilemma to talk and share best practices. We also managed to engage some agencies,” she explained. “A lot of our idea in the GT, as well as in the Good Practices Notebook, is to be able to share information, doubts and work together to find the best solutions.”

The Good Practices Notebook for E&P – Guidelines for Managing Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) will be available for free download here starting Friday.
