Abstract

This study was based on the evaluation of a scenario involving fire in blood irradiation equipment, taking as a basis HEMORIO, since it owns such equipament and is situated in a densely populated area. Although the scenario is hypothetical, there was an effort to approach to reality by considering standardized fire curves which provide input data to the HotSpot Software Health Physics to estimate the population’s Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) due to atmospheric dispersion. The Results were also treated and inserted as input for risk evaluation of induction of leukemia by mathematical means based on reports of Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR V and VII) depending on the dose level. The study of the scenario allowed us to infer the consequences of a fire in blood irradiators that use Cs-137 sources assisting in the prevention, mitigation, preparedness and response, enabling the protection of potentially at-risk communities
