The Arab network of Nuclear Regulators (ANNuR) is a regional network that enables the exchange of knowledge and experience learned among regulators in Arab countries. It fosters radiation protection and nuclear safety and security regulatory infrastructure frameworks in its participating countries. ANNuR supports Member States as they strive to develop and strengthen regulatory bodies that are independent, competent and efficient.
The Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC), established in 2003, is the regulatory body responsible for all atomic energy matters in the United Republic of Tanzania. The TAEC is responsible for the control of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation sources and the promotion of safe and peaceful applications of atomic energy and nuclear technology. TAEC historically played a key role in coordinating the medical and industrial application of ionizing radiation by carrying out regular inspections at ionizing radiation facilities with a view to ensuring the protection of workers.
The SADC Nuclear Regulators Network supports a regional approach to aligning regulatory frameworks for sustainable uranium mining and milling and associated transport in the concerned countries and within this sub-Saharan African region. This improves safety and security of the transport of uranium ore concentrate in and between countries; the harmonized system of accounting, control, and transport of nuclear and radioactive material; as well as the necessary nuclear material accountancy and control communication between the originating, transit and destination countries.
The National Nuclear Regulator (NNR) is a public entity established in 1999 and governed in terms of national nuclear legislation to provide for the protection of persons, property and the environment against nuclear damage through the establishment of safety standards and regulatory practices.
The Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) is an independent regulatory authority in Ghana established August 2015. It is mandated to ensure the peaceful application of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation sources and devices in a safe and secure manner without limiting the benefits to Ghanaians. The NRA’s main focus is regulatory control to ensure that in the use of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation does not negatively affect humans (workers, the general public and patients) or the environment.
The Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA) is the government entity responsible for nuclear safety and radiological protection regulation in Nigeria. It was established 1995 and began effective operation in 2001.
The National Centre for Nuclear Safety and Radiation Control NCNSRC forms part of the Egypt Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) and is the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority. It leads the national research and development in the basic and applied peaceful nuclear research
Created in 2014, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) is a strategic Public Organisation responsible for the regulation and control of activities involving nuclear sources of ionizing radiation. The main mission of AMSSNuR is to ensure compliance with the nuclear and radiological safety and security of activities and installations involving sources of ionizing radiation consistent with with the provisions of Moroccan laws and the related regulations, as well as the Kingdom's commitments to international policies.
The Forum of Nuclear Regulatory Bodies in Africa (FNRBA) was established in 2009 to enhance, strengthen, and harmonize radiation and nuclear safety and security regulatory infrastructure in member states, and serve as effective platform for the exchange of regulatory experiences and practices among the nuclear regulatory bodies in Africa. The purpose of FNRBA is to be instrumental to the enhancement, strengthening and harmonization of the radiation protection, nuclear safety and security regulatory infrastructure and framework among its members.
The Egyptian Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority (ENRRA) is an independent regulatory body established in 2012. ENRRA is in charge of all regulatory and controlling works related to nuclear activities for the peaceful use of atomic energy and ionizing radiation in a way that guarantees human, property, and environment safety against the hazard of exposure to ionizing radiation.
