Research report: use of virtual reality for the development of a nuclear waste repository for training

Resumo

In Brazil the highest amount of waste generated is low and medium level of radiation. Its management and final destination is important for society and the solution, proposed by the government, involves the construction of a National Repository for Radioactive Waste. Using Virtual Reality (VR), this article aims to develop an interactive virtual model of the repository to assist in the study, evaluation, training of personnel and planning of the installation to be implemented. The method was divided into four steps.

The first, called "Requirements Specification and Survey", aimed at acquiring information about the terrain and future buildings of the installation in the real world.
