Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Radiation Protection Convention, 1960 (No. 115) - Brazil (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee notes with regret that no report has been received from the Government. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters which were raised in its previous direct request:

The Committee has noted that whereas the National Confederation of Industry sent information on the application of the Convention in October 1987, a report had not been received from the Government since 1983. It therefore hopes that the Government will not fail to provide a report when it is next due and that this report will contain the information requested in the report form on the application of the Convention, and in particular on paragraph 1 of Article 3 and paragraph 2 of Article 6, which require the measures of protection and the maximum dose limits to be reviewed in the light of current knowledge. The Committee also refers to its general observation of 1987 and hopes that the next report will contain the information requested in this observation.
