In Malaysia, the sources of NORM are from the technological activities of tin mining, ore and heavy mineral processing, combustion of coal to generate power, and oil and gas extraction. The crude oil sludge that contains NORM arising from the oil and gas extraction activities lately has received special attention by the Malaysian regulatory authorities. These crude oil sludge are considered as Scheduled Waste (contains heavy metals) by Department of Environmental (DOE) and very low level radioactive waste which contains NORM by the Atomic Energy Licensing Board (AELB), and its cannot be disposed without permission and proper control, This paper reviewed the radiological behaviour and characteristic of NORM in the crude oil sludge from the oil and gas production activities in Malaysia.
Aktiviti dan amalan kerja menyebabkan pendedahan sinaran kepada pekerja dan orang awam berpunca daripada Bahan Radioaktif Tabii (BRT) telah meningkat, perkara ini telah mendapat perhatian sepenuhnya oleh agensi perundangan dan kepada orang awam pula disebaliknya. Di Malaysia, sumber utama BRT adalah daripada aktiviti-aktiviti teknologi perlombongan bijih timah, pemprosesan bijih timah dan mineral, pembakaran arang batu untuk menjana tenaga, dan carigali minyak dan gas. Enapcemar minyak mentah mengandungi BRT yang terhasil semasa aktiviti carigali minyak dan gas, sejak kebelakangan ini telah memdapat perhatian yang mendalam oleh pihak berkuasa berkenaan Malaysia. Enapcemar minyak mentah ini dianggap sebagai Sisa Berjadual. (mengandungi logam berat) oleh Jabatan Alam Sekitar (JAS) dan sisa radioaktif paras sangat rendah yang mana mengandungi BRT oleh Lembaga Perlesenan Tenaga Atom (AELB), dan tidak boleh dilupuskan tanpa kebenaran dan pengawalan yang sempurna. Kertas ini mengulas kelakuan dan kriteria-kriteria radiologi BRT dalam enapcemar minyak mentah daripada aktiviti-aktiviti mencari gas dan minyak di Malaysia. | Item Type: | Journal |
