  3. 3rd NNRA Workshop for Editors and Correspondents on Nuclear Safety and Radiological Protection Introduction The Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA) was established in 2001 by the Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection Act no 19 of 1995 (Act). The ACT charges the NNRA with the responsibility for nuclear safety and radiological protection regulation in Nigeria. With the commitment of the Federal Government to increasing electricity generation from Nuclear Power Plants, NNRA has intensified efforts in developing regulatory framework and human capacity to license the facility and activities

  4. INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) NNRA has entered into partnership with the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety (KINS) for the training of technical officers in nuclear safety and radiation protection at Masters Level. A total of five (5) Officers have obtained Masters Degree in Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection from KINS while one is currently undergoing the programme.

  5. IAEA TC project NIR/9/010: Developing Capabilities for Regulatory Oversight of Nuclear Power Programme The TC Project commenced in 2009 and was completed 1n 2014. The TC Project commenced in 2009 and consisted of the following activities: • National Legislation that Strengthens the Regulatory Body and includes NPPs • Establishment of appropriate NPP regulatory processes (site, review, NPP design review, development of regulations and guides, licensing process and public involvement). • Conduct of competency mapping and gap analysis to determine training needs and development of training programme • Conduct of training to develop regulatory skills to implement regulatory functions and processes. • Establishment of appropriate NPP regulations and guides

  6. IAEA TC project NIR/9/010: Developing Capabilities for Regulatory Oversight of Nuclear Power Programme The TC Project consisted of the following activities: • Basic Professional Training Course conducted in 2009 and 2014 in Abuja Nigeria • Workshop on the Regulatory Framework and the Licensing Process for Nuclear Power Plant, from 9th to 13th December 2013 • Training on Licensing of New NPP Projects and Special On the Job Training(OJT) for Regulatory Inspection of NPP Under Construction at International Nuclear Safety School (INSS), KINS, September – October 2009 • Advisory Mission in Relation to the Regulatory Requirements for Licensing of Sites for Nuclear Power Plants in Nigeria, 26th to 30th October, 2009. • Consultancy on the Training Need Assessment for Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority, 6th to 8th September, • IAEA Fellowship in Nuclear Science and Technology (M.Sc.) for one NNRA staff from September 2009 to September 2010sh • IAEA Fellowship on Conversion of HEU to LEU, Nigeria Research Reactor -1 (NIRR-1) for two Officers from July to November 2012

  7. IAEA Regional TC project: Enhancing and Sustaining the National Regulatory Bodies for Safety (AFRA) Objective To enhance regulatory infrastructure, sustainability and cooperation among national regulatory bodies. Field of activity Governmental and regulatory infrastructure for Nuclear and radiation safety

  8. Integrated Workplan for Nuclear Power Programme In 2015, an IAEA Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR) Mission was held in Nigeria to assess the infrastructure for its nuclear power programme. Based on the outcome and recommendations of the Mission, an integrated Workplan has been developed in collaboration with the IAEA to further develop the needed capacity for regulating Nigeria’s nuclear power programme. Some of these training and fellowship needs are captured in the EC T&T programme

  9. Cooperation Projects in T&T 2014-2016 • EC INSC Projects: • Training and Tutoring for experts of the NRAs and their TSOs for developing or strengthening their regulatory and technical capabilities • EC INSC Project MC.03/10 (2014) • EC INSC Project MC.03/13 (2015-2016)

  19. INSC coordination meeting on T&T Future Needs NOT in the present Tutoring Catalogue

  20. Lessons Learned: Good Practices. The training programme helped to strengthen NNRA regulatory and technical capabilities with regard to regulatory oversight of NPPs. All the Training and Tutoring catalogue are very important and relevant to NNRA regulatory functions The training also provides us with an opportunity to build professional relationships with experts from other participating countries The Resource Persons were experts in their fields and they did their best to break down the often complex concepts within the very limited time available. The European Commission has done very well in providing funds for NNRA participants

  21. Lessons Learned: What could be improved? Participants of the Training programme will appreciate the opportunity to participate in tutoring programme that provide more time for in-depth study and competence building. Online resources for accessing training materials. The announcement of events should come early enough to allow for visa acquisition and other logistics. The Training courses should be evaluated and result given to participants

  22. Final Remarks/ Conclusion All T&T programmes are very relevant to our regulatory functions and the NNRA stands to build the needed capacity and competences through continuous participation in EC Traing and Tutoring programmes. The NNRA expresses its profound appreciation and gratitude to: the European Commission (EC) for initiating and sponsoring Training and Tutoring programmes for NNRA Officers ITER-Consult and ENSTTI for organizing and implementing the training and tutoring programmes. We wish to request to continued support of the EC in funding NNRA participation in T&T Courses.

  23. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION
