Additionally, to prevent the loss of useful information, CNEN and the IAEA designated a panel of international experts to investigate the causes and consequences of the accident and draw up a comprehensive report, `The Radiological Accident in Goiania`, which the IAEA published in 1988. Under its nuclear safety programme, it is the IAEA`s intention to follow up serious radiological accidents with review and analysis, to document the causes and circumstances and to disseminate conclusions, lessons to be learned and recommendations from which all States may benefit. A decade after the Goiania accident, the CNEN convened the international conference `Goiania, Ten Years Later` in co-operation with the IAEA. The purpose of this conference was to share with the local population and the international community the knowledge gained during this tragic event and in the following years. The conference attracted some 400 participants from 17 countries (Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, El Salvador, Estonia, Germany, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Peru, Russian Federation, Spain, Uruguay, United States of America and Venezuela). The present IAEA proceedings contain some 50 papers selected for publication by the editorial committee of the conference Refs, figs, tabs","","INIS; OSTI as DE99614505","International Atomic Energy Agency, Department of Nuclear Safety, Vienna (Austria); Commissao Nacional de Energia Nuclear, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)","","IAEA","1998-12-01","","English","Conference","","","","Conference: International conference Goiania 10 years later: the radiological accident with Cs-137, Goiania (Brazil), 26-31 Oct 1997; Other Information: DN: Refs, figs, tabs; PBD: Dec 1998","","Medium: ED; Size: 392 p.","ON: DE99614505","INIS-XA-092; CONF-9710272-","","Other: ON: DE99614505; TRN: XA9948988008035","https://doi.org/","","2010-11-29","324462","https://www.osti.gov/etdeweb/servlets/purl/324462"
