Abstract

Fish from a Funil dam reservoir associated with a Nuclear Fuel Factory were sampled aiming to assess the radiological risk due to ingestion. Funil dam reservoir is a strategic site, once it receives effluent from the industrial complex that performs isotopic enrichment of uranium and conversion of UF 6 . The mean activity concentrations obtained for 40 K, 226 Ra, 228 Ra and 228 Th were 57.81, 0.41, 0.92 and 0.49 Bq·kg -1 , respectively. Lifetime cancer risk was estimated in ∼10 -5 and no action needs to be taken., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Ltd.
