Activities involving the use and handling of radioactive materials must be carried out within the framework of a solid culture of safety and risk prevention. The responsibility to properly manage their radioactive waste is a moral, ethical and legal commitment of the University for training and the health care centers for the services they provide. Radiological safety has its origins in the radioactive disasters that have occurred in the world, with its main reference in the explosion of accumulated hydrogen in reactor 4 of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (Ukraine), on April 26, 1986. This explosion is considered the most serious nuclear accident according to the International Nuclear Accident Scale. Although university facilities and health care centers do not harbor risks of such magnitude, the radiological safety systems for handling radioactive materials and waste are necessarily adapted to international systems, designed by the scientific study of the failures that have caused accidents. Hence the importance of following strict regulations from the arrival of these materials.
