DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Edemanwan Patrick Duke (Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory 
 Authority\, Abuja\, Nigeria)\n\nNigeria joined the international community
  to welcome the adoption of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) by th
 e United Nations General Assembly on 10th September 1996\, as a veritable 
 tool to prohibit “any nuclear weapon test explosion or any other nuclear
  explosion” anywhere in the world. Nigeria signed and ratified the CTBT 
 in September 2000 and September 2001 respectively. Baseline studies of env
 ironmental radioactivity and radiation mapping was conducted in Nigeria\, 
 to enable quick detection of elevated radiation levels due to cross bounda
 ry radiation from possible nuclear tests. Such data can be used to extrapo
 late activity at the test site\, thus ameliorating the challenges of on-si
 te inspection because of high radiation field\, or where the test site is 
 not within the jurisdiction of Nigeria.\nNigeria\, in her effort to ensure
  adequate and safe environment\, carried out Environmental Impact Assessme
 nt in and around all its high risk facilities\, Research Reactor in CERT\,
  Zaria\,GIF\, Shada and medical facilities using Cobalt-60.\n\nhttps://con
