A relação dos acidentes nucleares com as atuais medidas de segurança e ambiental das usinas

Abstract

This article was developed with the purpose of relating the largest nuclear accidents from Three Miles Island in 1979 with the measures currently used to reduce the risk factors of the plants. The present scientific article is justified by the search for sources of clean energy, the dangers of major nuclear accidents and the lessons learned after these events. Bibliographic research was conducted on how nuclear accidents were important for advancing the management of emergency, environmental and safety sectors of the plants. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of this energy source were highlighted. It was realized how nuclear accidents could have been minor had there been rapid action by businesses and governments. Due to this, emergency evacuation methods, redundancy-based safety systems and more rigorous projects were established, among other procedures, in order to reduce the risks of the plants.
