TITLE:

"THE PRECAUTIONARY PRINCIPLE AS A LEGAL APPROACH TO THE REGULATORY GAP IN URANIUM  MINING AND ITS RELATED PRODUCT RADON IN BRAZIL".

KEY WORDS:

uranium, radon, nuclear, radioactivity, precaution, prevention, nuclear liability, nuclear industry, environmental law, mining.

PAGES: 191
BIG AREA: Ciências Sociais Aplicadas
AREA: Direito
SUMMARY:

The current master's research paper aims to verify how the uranium mining activity in Brazil is placed, in general terms and specifically in the environmental issue. In this regard, the double risk of uranium is presented, being toxic and radioactive. While toxicity is a particular chemical characteristic of the uranium element itself, radiation comes from the element radon, which is generated from the natural decay of uranium. Although studies of the risks of damage related to uranium mine workers have been scientifically proven, scientific uncertainties remain about the extent of damage to regions close to this type of activity. Despite being a carcinogenic element, and representing more than half of the natural radiation that humans in general receive during their lives, radon outdoors, especially in places rich in natural uranium, or adjacent to uranium mining operations, does not count on efficient regulation, which ensures adequate socio-environmental protection. In this sense, when facing an international and national order with regulatory gaps for the control of uranium in natura, with regard to its natural decay, and a status of uncertainty about the extent of the damage beyond the mining, the Precautionary Principle is presented as an adequate tool to overcome the lapses in the order and as a means of ensuring environmental justice of populations in vulnerable situations, due to their proximity to uranium mines.
