Description

The Nuclear Regulatory Authority Act, 2015 (Act 895) established the Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) as the Competent Authority for Safeguards and Additional Protocol reporting and regulation in Ghana. A reporting regime has been established drawing experience from the previous regulatory system under Ghana Atomic Energy Commission. The regime addresses Safeguards and Additional Protocol reporting needs of the NRA. A Draft Safeguards regulation is currently under review which was developed with assistance from International Nuclear Safeguards Engagement Program (INSEP) and United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission provides the framework for implementing the reporting regime. Inventory Change Reports, Material Balance Reports, Special Reports and Additional Protocol Reports are addressed in the Draft Safeguards Regulation. The use of State Declaration Portal and Protocol Reporter 3 are discussed. The paper presents the current reporting regime on Safeguards and Additional Protocol in Ghana.
