This paper describes a Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) for training and assessment of collaboration among agents who deal with radiological and nuclear emergency situations at big events. For modelling the virtual environment we used Unity software for the land creation, and Autodesk 3ds Max for the scenery and objects. We include in the Unity core radiation detectors and avatars. For the development of scenarios on the approach to individuals suspected of carrying radioactive materials, we analysed practices, procedures and the organization of radiological protection agents during events in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Results indicated that the Collaborative Virtual Environment are suitable for training simulations in emergencies, because it was able to represent scenarios quite close to potential emergency situations.
