Abstract

The Institutional Technical Reserve for Infrastructure Costs - Year 2012 of IPEN, amounting to R$ 272,985.00, will be used in the installation of booths of specials gases for laboratories of the Research Centers of IPEN. This facility is necessary due to meet the ISO 14001 which does not allow the presence of gas cylinders of high pressure inside the laboratories. Moreover, IPEN will also meet the requirements of the Conduct Adjustment Term (CAT / IBAMA). IPEN has signed a Conduct Adjustment Term (CAT) with IBAMA, regarding facilities of physical and chemical laboratories and other facilities relevant. In this CAT-IBAMA were agreed changes in physical facilities of the Institute, and the works of physical infrastructure (sewage, etc.) are already underway. The construction of booths for the centralization of gases in some areas outside of laboratories is an imposition of TAC - IBAMA to reduce the risks associated with gas cylinders stored under high pressure. IPEN will complement with particular budget that is needed for installation of booths gases. (AU)
