We seek to identify challenges characterized by demands of society and we operate within our competencies in order to propose innovative solutions to public policy programs or projects for private clients.

CQMA objectives are focused on training and the improvement of human resources, scientific and technological development and the provision of services of high technological slant, in the areas of chemical and nuclear technology, environment, environmental chemistry and nuclear chemistry, aiming at:

  • Provide an integrated core of knowledge to act in environmental monitoring, developing capacity to use that knowledge in the protection of ecosystems, complementing other areas of environmental performance Ipen;
  • Study the occurrence and distribution of pollutants in environmental compartments and develop processes and minimizing emissions of chemicals and their effects on the environment.
  • Develop activities of chemical analyses for the areas: nuclear; environmental and materials;
  • Support the Nuclear fuel cycle, developing analytical methods for chemical and isotopic characterization to qualification of fuel elements for the IEA R1 of Ipen and for future fuels and Mo99 production boards for the RMB.

The CQMA has a quality system, based on standard ABNT NBR ISO/IE 17025, which ensures the quality of the results of the tests carried out in laboratories (Chemical Characterization laboratory; Chemical and environmental analysis laboratory and x-ray Fluorescence lab).
