On June 1998 one Cs 137 source is smelted by Acerinox (Cádiz)
with an adverse national and international publicity.
The Government decides to create a dialogue forum with the
different public and private stakeholders in order to analyse the
problems and seek possible solutions.
During 18 months this group discussed different alternatives. The
2th November 1999 the Spanish Protocol on Radiological
Surveillance of Metal recycling (“The Protocol”) is signed.

Every signatory of the Protocol gives and receives something from the
Protocol.
It is voluntary.
It is the result of a very long negotiation and conversation.
It promotes the common knowledge of the problem and the possible
solutions.
Shared costs.
Recovery Plants and Smelters are “Collaborators of the system”, and not
“Criminals that have to be persecuted”.
Existence of mechanisms of revision “We learn from the mistakes”.

MINER :– To create and maintain the Register of Collaborators and communicate
registrations – To grant a generic transfer authorisation of radioactive material detected
from the facility to ENRESA– To govern special interventions in case of big accidents with
contamination
CSN:– To issue (generic or case by case) safety guidance– To inspect surveillance systems – To set up radiological criteria
Investigation and Exemption levels (NI, NE)– To inform plants and ENRESA on applicability of the Protocol – To promote training activities– Direct intervention if needed

ENRESA:– To give technical advise– To collaborate to re-export radioactive material– To dispose of radioactive material– To collaborate in training activities– To sign a specific agreement with the facilities
M. of Infrastructures– To require radiological surveillance certification to authorise scrap
unloading in the Spanish harbours– To inform CSN in case of event

Commitment of the facilities– To install, maintain and operate a surveillance system in each
facility
– To surveille radiation level in scrap and processed materials
– To take appropriate measurement to avoid radiological risks
– To require radiological surveillance certification from supplier
– To inform CSN on each relevant detection event
– To sign an agreement with ENRESA
– To collaborate in training activities

•To survey all scrap and processed materials
•To immobilise shipments and to stop process if investigation levels (NI) have been exceeded
•To require a UTPR services if the event occurs in the process
•To investigate shipments and processes where NI have been exceeded
•To segregate, characterise, and isolate radioactive material if exemption levels (NE) have been exceeded
•To inform CSN if NE have been exceeded
•To guard safely radioactive material until ENRESA taking off
•To manage re-sending abroad radioactive material, if applicable

CONCLUSIONS OF LAST 4 YEARSCONCLUSIONS OF LAST 4 YEARS
• 980 radioactive materials segregated and well managed.• 83 radioactive sources.
•37 small sources (non very important)•46 relevant sources.
•75 facilities in the Protocol. (14.000.000 Tons per year are checked at least once). In the Protocol are:
•All the steel smelting plants.•Most of shredding plants•Some other scrap yards, whilst•Other non ferrous plants are coming.
•The number of sources grows with the time (more expansion of the Protocol more sources founded)
