When the Angra 1 nuke was implemented, many people complained it resorted to "outdated" hardware which had already been decomissioned in Germany. There were fears of nuclear accidents, prompting the creation of a nuclear emergencies department in Brazilian Navy's Central Hospital in Rio de Janeiro. The only time that nuclear emergency unit was effetively used was in the aftermath of the Cesium-137 incident in '87 which happened in Goiânia, totally unrelated to Angra 1.
