An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Integrated Safety Assessment for Research Reactors (INSARR) team said the operator of the Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1) has demonstrated a high commitment to enhancing safety following the conversion of the reactor core to use low enriched uranium (LEU) as fuel instead of high enriched uranium (HEU). The team also made recommendations for further strengthening safety. The four-member team comprised experts from India, Jamaica and the IAEA.

An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Integrated Safety Assessment of Research Reactors (INSARR) completed a five-day mission to Ghana on 20 April. It said the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) had shown a high commitment to safety following the conversion of the GHARR-1 research reactor core to use low-enriched uranium (LEU) as fuel instead of high-enriched uranium (HEU). GHARR-1 is a low-power research reactor with a maximum thermal power level of 30kW. It is a commercial type of Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) designed, manufactured and constructed by the China Institute of Atomic Energy. GHARR-1, which began operating in 1994, was initially fuelled with 90.2% HEU and is used for trace element analysis for industrial and agricultural purposes, research, education and training.
