In Cameroon, some hospitals l l like H pital G n ral of Ngousso, are used by m medicine nick area tr s usitt e due to its r results apr appreciable in the diagnosis and treatment of tumours can generous among others. D a certain effectiveness, it consists of l intake by l body of radioactive orally or by skin and who are then vacu through urine and sweat. These radioactive substances have a hard of relatively short life (6 hours for the techn terefe 9 and 16 days for l of iodine 131 and produce both liquid and solid waste d. D waste liquid then s constitutional by the collected urine and solid waste d (s constitutional by the bedding of the patient which s adds the riel used by doctor m mast) remain radioactive for a hard e can go until sixteen (16) days for iodine 131 l. Suffering me which arises here is that rejecting them directly in nature without requiring their activity n d raw, is injected with radioactive elements l of high activity in environment and (d) a risk localis, we pass a much more tense risk, manage difficult. These radioactive waste badly g s r d have consequences on soils that are a source of income for a population that lives also of fruit cultures vivri and l lifting res.More, by joining common waters such as courses waters, mar cages and rival res surrounding qu they pollute, it are sulte system includes not only a danger for wildlife domestic, but again and again for the man in the title of their consumption indirectly. Strat gie national management of D waste in the Cameroons Ministry of the environment, protection of nature and the development sustainable (2007-2015) made that, s for these wastes, from numerous deficiencies ranked d which l inad equation of health compared with the d implantation sites infrastructure, the knowledge of the evidence of the waste d mm, the absence of don ess as regards their amount and collection and storage structures. This strat national strategy which provides that these waste d be s collect and liming by l agency l International Atomic Energy (IAEA) illustrated inad equation answers input r l es strat strategic level. This project focuses on the management without risk of the radioactive hospital waste d from m medicine nick area starting from the case of l h pital g n ral Ngousso Yaounde. FA is g n rale, this project will be promote rational management and without risk of these hospital waste d from knowledge and mastery of their elimination circuit particularly. L involvement of staff m medical, non-medical, of municipality, d departments departments sectoral departmental, companies priv collection, l national radiation protection agency (WRNI), women and youth associations, will be favorite throughout the implementation of the project d o its participatory approach which will aim at the end of the project not only an appropriation of results of the project by stakeholders but also its sustainability.
