Description
The Brazilian Physical Society (SBF) plays an important role in promoting and supporting activities related to nuclear technologies in Brazil. This summary outlines the SBF's commitment to fostering a robust ecosystem for research, education, and technological development, while strictly adhering to the principle of peaceful applications.
The SBF actively supports all activities developed in the nuclear technology area for peaceful purposes. This includes:
* Capacity Building and Human Resources Development: The Society prioritizes the training and qualification of highly specialized personnel, from undergraduate students to senior researchers, through the organization of scientific meetings, schools, workshops, and the promotion of specialized postgraduate programs. This continuous effort is essential to ensure that the future workforce can meet the complex demands of the nuclear sector.
* Technological Development and Innovation: By creating forums for discussion and collaboration, the SBF facilitates the exchange of knowledge between academia, research institutions, and industry. This support is fundamental for driving innovation in areas such as nuclear energy, medical physics (radiotherapy and imaging), agricultural applications, and industrial non-destructive testing.
* Dissemination of Scientific Knowledge: The SBF works to inform the public and policymakers about the benefits and safety of nuclear technologies, combating misconceptions and ensuring that scientific evidence guides regulatory and strategic decisions.
The SBF is committed to addressing these issues by advocating for international partnerships.
Looking to the future, the frontiers of research involve the exploration of new Reactors, the advancement of nuclear medicine techniques, nuclear fusion, and the utilization of already established nuclear science for the benefit of society.
