O Corpo de Fuzileiros Navais na gestão de emergências

Abstract

Nuclear plants guarantee several benefits for the industry in different countries and have provided Brazil with new capabilities, currently necessary for important projects in the sector, both in the civil and military sectors. However, it is an area of great complexity and high risk of accidents or threats, and it is necessary to develop strategic actions to protect against incidents that may occur in the future. In this sense, this work's main objective is to investigate how the functions, tasks and procedures of the Marine Corps can be better used in emergency management at Nuclear Power Plants in Brazil. With this, a bibliographical, qualitative and descriptive review was carried out on books, scientific articles, monographs, laws, documents, websites and news related to the research topic. As a result, it was found that plants are areas of importance for National Defense and require management and coordination measures and the involvement of various actors. Therefore, to manage emergencies that may occur in nuclear plants, it is the responsibility of the Brazilian Navy to respond to possible accidents that may occur in this area. In this sense, the Marine Corps together with the Navy provide efficient management for nuclear emergencies and, therefore, carry out emergency response and nuclear physical safety exercises with simulations in relation to a possible accident that could occur at the plants. Strategies such as more training, support from other government bodies, investment in more advanced technologies can help to further improve responses to nuclear threats or accidents. However, it is known that there may be challenges in relation to improvements to the Marine Corps, such as financial and political issues, among others. However, to overcome these challenges it is necessary to understand that threats or accidents can cause a lot of damage and monitoring them is the best solution to avoid them.
