Mr Prince Amoah (Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA))

Description

Ghana is steadily progressing towards the accomplishment of her Nuclear Power Program. The Nuclear Regulatory Authority was established by Act 895, 2015 to provide for the regulation and management of activities and practices for the peaceful use of nuclear material and provide for safety environmental protection and of persons against the harmful effects of radiation hazards. Ghana ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty in June 14, 2011. Prior to the ratification, the National Data Centre was established in 2010 to receive and use data for the verification and compliance to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban treaty (CTBT) and also to advise national authorities in Ghana on issues relating to earthquake disasters and their management. The promotion of the activities of CTBTO in Ghana and most importantly its promotion to the younger generation and early career scientists is critical in ensuring the sustained and continued efforts of the Nuclear-Test-Ban regime. This study highlights the efforts in place to keep the younger generation informed and involved in promoting activities of the CTBTO.
