ANNUAL REPORT

2017/2018

ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL

Mandate: “To regulate peaceful applications of ionizing radiation in for the protection and safety of the public and the environment from the dangers resulting

from ionizing radiation”.

FOREWORD This financial year marks ten years since the Atomic Energy Act no. 24 of 2008 (AEA) was enacted into law. It has been ten years of great successes and challenges for Uganda in establishing a regulatory framework for the control of sources of ionizing radiation in the country. The Atomic Energy Council (AEC) has been in existence for seven years from the time it started operations in 2011. It has registered tremendous progress in due course, from carrying out only two (2) inspections in the fiscal year 2010/2011 to over two hundred in the fiscal year 2017/2018. The number of licenses and permits issued has also increased five-fold from forty six (46) in 2011/2012 to two hundred thirteen (213) in 2017/2018. The regulatory framework has continued to grow with AEC currently playing a regulatory oversight role in 406 active facilities by the close of the financial year. In each of these facilities, the Council ensures the requirements for radiation protection; nuclear safety and security are in compliance with the respective requirements Atomic Energy Act No. 24 of 2008 and the Atomic Energy Regulations, 2012 and the International standards. Of particular interest in the 2017/ 2018 financial year, AEC actively participated in restoring the teletherapy services at the . The licensing process for the radiotherapy facility was successfully completed. Also worth mentioning is that the master plan for developing AEC home at Mpoma in Mukono district were finalized. AEC has also initiated steps to fully implement its mandate through regulation of non-ionizing radiation. This has been a point of interest for the public and the government and active efforts have been made towards having a regulatory framework for non-ionizing radiation. A number of hurdles have stood in the way to hinder plain sailing. The main ones relate to the funding gaps, public and stakeholder awareness and limitations with the legal infrastructure. These are only a few of the success stories and challenges of AEC. The superb team at the secretariat is credited for the great success. I’m proud to be working with such a committed, devoted and dedicated team. I feel confident that the AEC is on track to achieve its vision of being a centre of excellence in regulating peaceful applications of ionizing radiation in Uganda. Dear readers, I’m honoured to present the annual report of AEC for the financial year 2017/2018.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AEC exhibited a significant performance during the 2017/18 financial year, in line with its mandate to regulate the peaceful applications of ionizing radiation so as to provide for the protection and safety of individuals, society and the environment from the dangers resulting from ionizing radiation. The period marked the third year of our laid down 5 years strategic plan covering the financial years from 2015/16 – 2019/20.

During the FY 2017/2018, AEC received thirty seven (37) notifications for new practices that were introduced. This was 30.8% of the targeted one hundred and twenty (120) notifications expected during the year. In addition to the notifications, 216 applications for authorisations were received against the target of 240 resulting in a 90% performance. Two hundred and twelve (212) authorisations were subsequently issued, twenty eight (28) of which were permits and 184 were licenses to possess and use. This represents 88.3% of the targeted two hundred and forty (240) authorisations to be issued in the financial year. The number of authorisations remained comparable to that of FY 2016/2017 which stood at 213. The small decline in authorisations is a good indication resulting from the fact that the number of unauthorised facilities has gone down compared to the previous years. Our target is to have all facilities in the country authorised to carry out operations related to use of ionizing radiation.

In terms of compliance inspections, AEC conducted 215 inspections in the FY 2017/2018. This number of inspections fell short of the targeted value which was 280 constituting 76.8% of the target. In comparison with the 2016/2017 financial year, the number of inspections increased by 64.1% from 131 inspections in 2016/2017. 22 pre-authorisation inspections were also carried out compared to the set target of 60 pre-authorisation inspections resulting in a 36.7% performance. In the course of verifying compliance, 73 enforcements were carried out resulting in a 121.6% above the estimate of 60 that had been set.

A total of forty seven (47) new radiation sources in thirty seven (37) new facilities were registered. Out of the registered forty seven (47) radiation sources, six (6) were radioactive sources while 41 were radiation generators. The total number of radiation sources as at June 30, 2018 stood at, eight hundred and forty one (841) of which six hundred and fifty eight (658) were radiation generators while one hundred and eighty three (183) are radioactive materials. The total number of active facilities was four hundred and six (406) at the close of the financial year.

The dosimetry database included dose records of five hundred and six (506) radiation workers out of one thousand and eighty four (1084) registered workers across the country at the close of the 2017/2018 financial year,. This represents 46% of the registered radiation workers. The number of monitored facilities stood at one hundred and twenty one (121) representing 29.8% of the active facilities. One hundred and fourteen (114) of the monitored facilities were medical while seven (07) were industrial.

During the year, AEC initiated the development of three (03) practice-specific regulations - for Radioactive Waste Management, Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials and Safeguards. This brought the total number of practice-specific regulations to six (06). In addition, five practice specific guides were drafted and one was approved and is currently in use. x | P a g e

In order to promote public and stakeholder awareness, AEC published 3 articles in the newspapers; held 2 radio talk shows (KFM and Capital FM) and 1 TV talk show (NBS); participated in 4 exhibitions; held 3 sensitization meetings with stakeholders; participated in one (01) national celebration (Liberation Day) and 2 corporate social responsibility activities (MTN and Kabaka Run marathon).

For national inter-agency collaboration efforts, four (04) MoUs were initiated and drafted - with Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS), Department of Disaster Preparedness and Management, Office of the Prime Minister (DDPM, OPM), Uganda Police Force (UPF) and Ministry of Health (MoH).

To continually improve its regulatory infrastructure, AEC hosted five (05) expert missions in the fields of Nuclear Security, management of disused and orphan sources, promotion of education and training in radiation protection and regulation of Non-Ionizing Radiation in Uganda.

In terms of human resource, AEC recruited four (04) personnel to join its efforts as staff during the 2017/2018 financial. This fell short of the target of ten (10) new staff that had been anticipated to supplement its workforce. For staff capacity development, 13 AEC participated in the IAEA short- term training programs outside the country while four (04) staffs were facilitated by the IAEA to undertake long-term trainings in different universities abroad. Additionally, five (05) administrative staff participated in local trainings. The trainings have been vital for AEC to meet the increasing regulatory demands from the new technologies such as Linear Accelerators (LINACs) and Nuclear Power development.

On the development of the land at Mpoma in Mukono district, AEC has continued to make positive steps towards establishing a Centralised Radioactive Source Storage Facility (CRSSF) as well as the AEC home at Mpoma, in Mukono. In this aspect, the contract for the development of the master plan for AEC infrastructure at Mpoma in Mukono district was awarded and the preliminary environment impact assessments are in process. In addition, AEC has actively engaged in public acceptance activities including meetings with district leaders, and the neighbours.

These notable achievements were a result of the tireless efforts of the thirty eighty (38) members of AEC family who work hard with unity of purpose and direction, the visionary, committed and focused leadership of the competent management team as well as the support of our Council board, MEMD and our clients.

This year, however, brought many challenges to AEC as well. The main ones were a funding gap of AEC activities, lack of a vote status, lack of radiation protection and safety laboratories, limited office space and equipment space, inadequate staffing, inadequate inspection and monitoring equipment, limited stakeholders and general public awareness about AEC and its roles and omissions in the AEC among others. All these negatively impacted on the performance of AEC during the reporting year.

Nonetheless, I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to the Council members, our clients, stake holders and my colleagues whose trust and support was priceless in making the year 2017/2018 another record performance. The growth we have experienced over the years is because of our stakeholders who faithfully support our activities. As AEC, we appreciate the trust that all our clients and stakeholders have given to us, and we’ll do our best to continue to provide the well-deserved service. xi | P a g e

Additionally, I wish to thank the top management of Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMD) and the development partners such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC), United States Department of Energy (US DoE), Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC), among others for the financial and advisory services, and training opportunities extended to AEC. It is through their support that we registered the achievements as indicated in this report. Thank you.

1.0 INTRODUCTION The Atomic Energy Council (AEC) was established in fulfilment of the provision under Section 4 of the Atomic Energy Act No. 24 of 2008 (AEA) as a body corporate with perpetual succession and a common seal with a mandate to regulate the peaceful use of atomic energy in Uganda.

Section 29 of the Atomic Energy Act No. 24 of 2008 stipulates that the financial year of the Council is the period of twelve months beginning on the first day of July in each year and ending on the 30th day of June in the next calendar year. This Report highlights the activities undertaken by AEC in the period from July 1st 2017 to June 30th, 2018 which constitutes the Financial Year (FY) 2017/2018.

1.1 Mandate AEC was established and mandated to regulate the peaceful applications and management of ionizing radiation for the protection and safety of society and the environment from the dangers resulting from ionizing radiation; to provide for the regulation of the development of nuclear energy for use in power generation in compliance with international safety requirements; and to advise government and other agencies on matters within the competence of the Council.

1.2 Mission AEC’s mission is “to provide for the safety and security of society and environment from the dangers of ionizing radiation”

1.3 Vision The Council’s vision is “to be a centre of excellence in regulating peaceful applications of ionising radiation”

1.4 Core values AEC promotes an all-inclusive environment that steers towards staff and stakeholder satisfaction. In order to orient its performance towards its vision, the Council instils the following values within its staff;

(a) Professionalism (b) Transparency (c) Respect (d) Innovativeness (e) Reliability.

1.5 Regulatory Infrastructure The regulatory mandate of AEC originates from the Energy Policy of 2002 that was developed by the MEMD. The Policy had identified the institutional and legal weakness in the area of atomic energy applications. It also stipulated that atomic energy uses must be regulated in order to protect the public and the environment from dangers arising out of improper practices and uses of ionising radiation.

The policy proposed the enactment of a new law establishing AEC as a regulatory organ whose mandate was to issue licenses and regulations, conduct inspections and take action as is necessary to

1 | P a g e

ensure radiation protection and safety. The Atomic Energy Act No. 24 of 2008(AEA) was enacted for this purpose.

AEA provides for the establishment of AEC and describes for its mandate, functions and responsibilities as envisaged by the Government. Under the section 73 of AEA, AEC is mandated to formulate regulations, policies and programmes for regulation of safety of radiation facilities for protection against risks arising from ionising radiation.

1.6 The Council The Council is the policy organ that consists of a Chairperson, and four other members appointed by the Minister with the approval of Cabinet. The Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of AEC is an ex-officio member of the Council. The Council governs AEC on behalf of the Government of Uganda and its functions and responsibilities are set out in Section 9 of the AEA.

1.6.1 Committees of Council For proper execution of its functions, the Council established committees in accordance with Section 11 of the AEA. The committees inquire into and advise the Council on any matter concerning the functions of the Council. The Council may delegate its authority to the committees to deal with specific aspects of its functions.

The committees that have been established by the Council for this purpose include; a) The Finance, Planning and Administration Committee (FPAC) which guides the Council on policy matters regarding financial management and planning. b) The Human Resources Committee (HRC) which guides the Council on policies relating to staff such as recruitment, retention, development, rewards, evaluation, promotions and discipline. c) The Technical Committee (TC) which guides Council policies on matters such as technical infrastructure, systems of inspections, regulatory operations and requirements, among others. d) The Audit Committee (AC) which guides Council policy in its oversight role such as; internal audit, quality controls and quality assurance, risk management, financial reporting, transparency and external audit quality. e) The Legal and Corporate Affairs Committee (LCAC) which guides Council in policy matters such as legal matters, contracts, collaborations and partnership.

On a sad note, the Council lost Hon. Abel Rwendeire who passed away on the October 4th, 2017. Hon. Abel Rwendeire served on both the Legal and Corporate Affairs Committee and the Audit Committee of the Council.

1.6.2 Meetings of the Council The Council maintains oversight role over the Secretariat’s activities through meetings which are held at least once every quarter as provided for under the second schedule of the AEA. The meetings enable the Council to receive updates on what is transpiring within the Secretariat as well as guide on the appropriate approach to policy implementation. In the 2017/2018 financial year, the Council held four (04) meetings and six (06) Committee meetings. The Human Resource Committee held one (01) meeting, Technical Committee held two

l) To enhance physical and technological infrastructure

1.8.1 The AEC Strategic Plan 2015/16 – 2019/20 AEC developed a five year Strategic Plan covering a period from FY2015/16 to FY2019/2020 under the theme” Laying the foundation for institutional growth and stability”. The overall goal under the plan was to develop necessary systems and lay the foundation for the sustainable regulation of peaceful applications of ionizing radiation and ensure that the implementation of AEC’s mandate and functions is carried out in a phased manner amidst limited resources.

This plan, which has now been followed for three years, has enabled the AEC to establish structures and set-up its compliance audits to ensure adherence to the requirements of AEA and AER for the safety and protection of the society and environment from the dangers of ionizing radiation.

In the remaining period of its execution, the Council will focus on consolidation of its regulatory functions; expand its scope to include the proposed nuclear power programs and other critical areas including plans for radioactive waste management, establishment of AEC home, regulation of non-ionizing radiation and environmental monitoring.

1.8.2 AEC Strategic Plan (2015/16-2019/20) implementation review During the FY 2017/18, a workshop was conducted with an objective of evaluating and reviewing the road map that was created to assess whether there were new developments that had come on board so that they can be integrated on the plan as we eliminate the projects that were earlier planned but have been overtaken by urgent events. The workshop took place on October 19, 2017 at Fairway Hotel, Kampala Uganda. It was attended by AEC staff and the Council members.

2.0 REGULATED ACTIVITIES AND CORE FUNCTIONS OF THE ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL

2.1 Regulated Activities and Practices AEC regulates practices that involve or include the production, processing, handling, use, holding, storage, transport or disposal of natural and artificial radioactive material and devices emitting ionising radiations in medical, industrial, agricultural and research fields. These include; a) Medical applications/ practices i) Plain X-ray Machine ii) Fluoroscopy units iii) Mammography iv) Computed Tomography v) Radiotherapy vi) Nuclear Medicine vii) Dental X-ray Machines viii) Bone densitometer X-ray scanners b) Industrial i) Nuclear gauges ( Moisture, Level and Density gauges) ii) Well logging sources iii) Industrial Radiography iv) Industrial X-ray. c) Security i) Baggage scanners. ii) Cargo scanners iii) Whole body scanners iv) Explosive detectors d) Research and Education i) Educational institutions ii) Agricultural research institutions iii) Pest and disease control

2.2 Statutory Functions of the Council The functions of the AEC as per section 9 of the AEA are as follows: a) To define the exposures of ionising radiation that are excluded from the application of the Act on the basis of their not being amenable to regulatory control; b) To issue authorisations and grant exemptions for the possession and use of radiation sources; c) To define the detailed obligations, including financial conditions, to be imposed on persons who undertake any practice under the Act; d) To conduct inspections to assess radiation safety and security conditions and compliance with the Act and the regulations and other requirements specified in an authorization; e) To take such action as is necessary to enforce the requirements of the Act and of any Regulations or authorizations; f) To ensure that corrective action is taken if unsafe or potentially unsafe conditions are detected;

7 | P a g e

g) To ensure proper documentation, storage and retrieval of records relating to the safety of facilities and activities of ionising radiation; h) To establish and inform authorised persons of any requirements for systematic safety reassessment or periodic safety review; i) To prescribe and collect fees for authorisations, inspections and other related services; j) To advise other governmental authorities and organizations on matters within the competence of the Council; k) To assist in emergency responses to radiological incidents and accidents; l) To initiate, recommend or provide support on intervention relating to radiological emergencies, as may be appropriate; m) To maintain contact for information exchange and cooperation with regulatory bodies of other countries and relevant international organizations; n) To establish appropriate mechanisms to inform the public about the regulatory process and the radiation safety aspects of regulated practices; o) To monitor and appraise radiation workers, the public and the environment on the extent of radiation exposure; p) To ensure proper collection and dissemination of information and advice to the public generally, and to authorized persons in particular, regarding measures necessary or desirable to be taken to reduce exposure to prescribed limits; q) To perform any other function that is incidental or consequential to its functions under the Act.

2.3 Development of Regulations and Safety Guides The statutory framework provides for the Council to issue regulations for better execution of its operations as stipulated in Section 73 of AEA. These regulations set mandatory requirements for the authorised persons who use sources of ionizing radiation for the better implementation of the safety requirements of the Act. Their compliance to the regulations is verified through:

a) Review and assessment of submissions made by an applicant/licensee as part of application for obtaining authorisation or licence from AEC as well as other submissions made during the authorisation or licensed process; and authorised person’s premises. b) Routine and verification inspections c) Quality assessment visits

Guides and standards provide advice to authorised persons on how to comply with regulatory requirements. Whereas the Act and Regulations are legally binding, Guides are not legally-binding. In the 2017/18 financial year, AEC initiated the development of three (03) practice-specific regulations i.e. i. Regulations for Radioactive Waste Management ii. Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Materials iii. Regulations on Safeguards. This brings the number of practice-specific regulations to six (06). The other draft practice-specific regulations from previous years include; Regulations for Operating a Nuclear Power Plant, Regulations for Nuclear Security and Regulations for Non-Ionising Radiation.

8 | P a g e

2.4 Review and assessment of applications for authorisation Section 32 of AEA prohibits any person from undertaking any practice related to the application of atomic energy unless authorisation has been granted by AEC. Persons intending to carry out any practice involving the use of ionising radiation are required to notify Council of the intended practice and submit application for authorisation in accordance with Section 34 and 35 of the Act. The application for authorisation is initiated by filling of relevant forms for authorisations of an activity and submitting them along with some supporting documents as attachments to the Council. The submitted documentation by an applicant is reviewed and assessed by the technical staff of AEC to verify the competence of the applicant to safely manage the sources within the practice in accordance with regulatory requirements. In case of non-conformance with the regulatory requirements, AEC may reject license application or may take an enforcement action necessary to ensure the safety of the facility, radiation workers, public, and the environment. Two hundred and fifteen (215) applications were reviewed and assessed were in the FY 2017/2018 as listed in Appendix 8.

2.5 Authorisation of Practices involving the use of Radiation Sources One of the functions for which AEC was established is to issue authorisations and grant exemptions for the possession and use of radiation sources as provided for in Section 9 (1) (b). All practices therefore are required to be authorized. The authorisation takes the form of a license, permit, registration or exemption depending on the intended practice and the risk category of the radiation sources (as indicated in Appendix 4) In the reporting period, AEC set a target to issue at least 240 licenses and permits. During the FY 2017/2018, 212 authorisations were issued 28 of which were permits and 184 were licenses to possess and use. This represents 88.3% of the targeted authorisations to be issued in the financial year. The number of authorisations was comparable to that of last year in which 213 authorisations were issued. The trend of licensing of facilities over the years is shown in Figure 6. The list of licenses issued in FY 2017/2018 is provided in Appendix 8.

9 | P a g e

Figure 6: Trend of authorizations over the past seven financial years.

2.6 Compliance Inspections Inspections are conducted to assess radiation safety and compliance with the Act along with the regulations and other conditions specified in the authorizations issued by AEC and to ensure that radiation sources, whether radioactive materials or radiation generators are used safely and securely. During an inspection, AEC verifies, among other issues; the availability of adequate personal protective gears, performance of the X-ray radiation generating equipment, adequacy of the shielding of the premises, qualification of radiation workers and Radiation Safety Officers, personnel and area monitoring equipment, radiation dose records, and physical protection arrangements for the sources. The findings of an inspection, including any compliance gaps and suggestions for improvement, are included in inspection reports, which are also shared with the inspected facilities. A follow-up mechanism is in place to ensure compliance with the requirements/recommendations made. Inspections are conducted according to an annual program that is prepared based on a graded approach which prioritises high risk facilities. Special inspections are also planned specifically for investigative purposes. Inspections may be announced or un-announced. In the FY 2017/2018, AEC conducted 215 inspections on radiation facilities as shown in Appendix 5. The number of inspections conducted in this period as observed in Figure 7 exceeded those conducted in the previous year by 64.1%. This was partly due to the procurement of additional inspection equipment and vehicles which made it possible for several inspections to take place at the same time by different inspection teams. However, the number of inspections fell short of the targeted value which was 280. The actual number constituted only 73.2% of the target due to limited staff and funding.

2.7 Enforcement of regulatory requirements AEC requires facilities to meet the minimum radiation protection and safety requirements in their routine operations. Therefore, facilities that do not meet the basic minimum safety requirements, enforcement actions are taken on them to ensure compliance with these requirements. The radiation

11 | P a g e

source(s) in a facility is (are) closed for non-compliance with safety requirements related to the practice as stipulated in the AEA and AER.

Enforcement actions used by AEC include closing down the machines to prohibit the operators from using them until the conditions for which it was enforced are met. Other methods include written warning to the facility as well as verbal prohibition. This is done to ensure the safety and protection of society and environment from the dangers of ionizing radiation and security of radiation sources. Enforcement is conducted in line with Section 9 (1) (e) of AEA, Regulation 11 of the AER and internal procedures for conducting enforcement.

Some of the requirements that are considered as serious violations and may lead to closure of the radiation generator(s) include:

a) Operating without authorization to possess and use a radiation source contrary to section 32 of the AEA. b) Wilfully operating a faulty installation that causes uncontrolled or un-regulated emission of radiation contrary to section 63(2) of the AEA c) Employing and using unqualified staff by the authorized person to operate the equipment contrary to Regulation 21(4) and 29 (1) of the AER. d) Failure by the licensee to provide suitable and adequate personal protective equipment like lead gloves, lead aprons and other organ shields contrary to Regulation 39 (2) (c) of AER. e) Inadequate shielding of the premises contrary to Regulations 57 (1) (c) and 63 (1) (b) of the AER. f) Failure to display and install radiation warning systems contrary to Regulation 37 (1) (b) (iv) of the AER. g) Denial of access to AEC inspectors contrary to section 21 of AEA. h) Use of a radiation generating equipment for a purpose other than that for which it was designed i) Using or storing a source in a facility that does not comply with the standards that offers radiation protection and safety of the public, workers and the environment.

During the reporting period, enforcement actions were carried out on seventy three (73) facilities by temporarily suspending their services involving use of ionising radiation. The list and status of the facilities on which enforcement actions were carried out is as shown in Appendix 9.

12 | P a g e

Figure 9: Closed X-ray machine at Gombe Hospital in Butambala District

Facilities which rectify the conditions that led to the enforcement are required to formally request AEC for re-opening through established procedures that are provided at the time of enforcement. In the reporting period, 42 facilities were allowed to operate again after meeting the minimum requirements for re-use of the machine. This number includes 22 facilities that had been enforced in the previous financial years but were re-opened in the reporting year.

Facilities that were previously enforced and had not officially communicated to Council after three (03) months of closure, meetings were held to discuss the challenges and way forward. The list of facilities in which meetings were held is as shown in Appendix 10.

2.8 Registration of Facilities and Sources within facilities AEC is mandated to establish registers for all practices, facilities and radiation sources using ionising radiation (radiation workers) for all practices risks involving the use of ionizing radiation. In line with the above requirement, AEC maintains electronic and hard copy versions of database of the inventory of radiation sources and facilities and ensures they are updated as and when new information is obtained. The electronic databases at AEC are in form of excel sheets and other software, such as, the Advance Regulatory Authority Information System (ARIS) and Regulatory Authority Information System (RAIS) During the financial year 2017/2018, a total of forty seven (47) new radiation sources in thirty seven (37) new facilities were registered. Out of the registered 47 radiation sources, six (6) were radioactive sources while 41 were radiation generators. The total number of radiation sources as at June 30, 2018 stands at, eight hundred and forty one (841) of which six hundred and fifty eight (658) are radiation generators while one hundred and eighty three (183) are radioactive materials. A summary of inventory of radiation sources as at June 30, 2018 is as shown in Appendix 12.

13 | P a g e

2.9 Registration of Radiation Workers and Dosimetry Services The Council operates and maintains a dosimetry service for monitoring and appraisal of radiation workers on the extent of radiation exposure for their safety. Radiation workers from radiation facilities across the country are monitored for personal dosimetry levels. The records are maintained and processed in databases for future references and so that the workers can be advised in case they exceed the set exposure limits for occupationally exposed workers.

Figure 10: Mr John Kisaakye (RPO) reading TLD badges at AEC dosimetry laboratory

Currently, the database includes dose records of 506 radiation workers out of 1084 registered workers across the country. This represents 46% of the registered radiation workers. The list of facilities monitored by AEC in FY 2017/2018 is shown in Appendix 13.

At the close of the FY 2017/2018, the number of monitored facilities stood at one hundred and twenty one (121) out of the four hundred and six (406) active facilities representing 29.8% of the facilities. One hundred and fourteen (114) of the monitored facilities were medical while seven (07) were industrial.

3.0 OTHER ACTIVITIES OF AEC

3.1 Establishment of Nuclear Security Regime Whereas the prime responsibility for the safety and security of sources at a facility lies with the authorised person from the moment of acquisition, throughout their entire operational life, up to final disposal, AEC ensures that the authorized persons are aware of their responsibilities in regards to safety and security.

In view of the above, AEC is currently establishing a Nuclear Security regime to coordinate the implementation of the national nuclear security plan to ensure that sources do not go out of regulatory control and used for malicious acts from facilities. The activities undertaken by AEC in regard to nuclear security are detailed in the next sub-sections.

3.1.1 Regional Training on Physical Protection and Security Management of Radioactive Sources, Kampala, 11-14 September, 2017 AEC established relations with the USDoE since 2009. During the year, AEC hosted a regional training on physical protection and security management of radioactive sources jointly sponsored by the Office of Radiological Security, under the USDoE. The objective of the training course was to provide participants with the general understanding about the need to protect and control radioactive sources and apply adequate physical protection measures throughout their source cycle. Participants included representatives from Botswana, Namibia, Malawi, Mozambique and Uganda. This training took place at , Kampala, Uganda.

The training was beneficial to AEC in terms of the capacity building for the staff and stakeholders to inspect and implement physical protection systems for security at facilities with sources. AEC also established valuable contacts with participants from other countries.

3.2 Implementation of Nuclear Safeguards Uganda became a member of the IAEA in 1967. It signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty on 20th October 1982 and concluded the safeguards agreements on 14th February, 2006. Under these agreements, Uganda is obliged to among other requirements to establish a State System of Accounting for and Control of Nuclear Material and report on nuclear material in the country on a quarterly and annual basis.

3.2.1 Workshop on the implementation of safeguards in Uganda, July 13, 2017 In this regard, the IAEA sent two experts, Mr. Teshome Bayou Temesgen, Senior Safeguards Inspector and Mr. Andrew Monteith, Safeguards Inspector for a workshop in Uganda. The workshop was attended by twenty five (25) participants and took place at the MEMD offices. The participants of the workshop included representatives from Ministry of Science and Technology, Uganda Cancer Institute, Civicon Uganda Limited, Uganda People’s Defense Force, Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development, Nuclear Energy Unit, Uganda National Association of Building and Civil Engineering Contractors, External Security Organization, Uganda Police Force including the Counterterrorism unit, Makerere University and AEC.

The main objective of the mission was to discuss in detail with the appropriate authorities the obligations pursuant to Uganda’s CSA (INFCIRC/674). Particular emphasis was given to the requirements for a State System of Accounting for and control of nuclear material (SSAC), required in Article 7(a) of the CSA and to provide practical assistance and guidelines to the SSAC personnel (or contact point(s)) identified by the State and to assist them in fulfilling their reporting obligations under the additional protocol and amended small quantities protocol

The review of National Nuclear and Radiological Emergency Plan was finalized by the committee and is currently awaiting input by stakeholders.

3.4 Management of Orphan and Disused Sources AEC is mandated to regulate all radioactive waste generated during operation and decommissioning of radiation facilities and associated activities in the country. Radioactive waste management is a critical area of AEC’s regulatory regime as exposure to radioactive waste may pose serious hazards to human health and safety.

5.7 Competence development through French Classes AEC is committed to personal development of its staff and in building the competence of its staff to interact at local and international level. For this reason, the management initiated the voluntary basic French classes for the staff. The classes are conducted once a week for one hour on Friday afternoon. The classes were well received by the staff and has served as an incentive to motivate the staff to appreciate their work environment and feel that the management values their personal development.

5.8 Staff Wellbeing and Fitness Sports Programs AEC appreciates the importance of a healthy and fit workforce in its day to day activities in addition to the need to develop team effort and spirit. Therefore, the council has taken on sporting activities that promote wellbeing and fitness of its staff.

5.8.1 Friday Sports After a long tedious week, the Council resolved that it is necessary for the staff to wind down the stress by engaging in sports every Friday for at least one hour. The activity takes place at the Nakasero Primary School playground from 4:00pm.

6.0 FINANCES The three official sources of Council funds as per the AEC Act No. 24, of 2008, Laws of Uganda are; a) Money appropriated by parliament for the purposes of the Council. b) Grants or donations from the government or other sources. c) Fees charged for services and activities rendered by the Council. The Parliament appropriated 6.620 Billion Uganda Shillings to AEC in the reporting financial year. However, out of the appropriated 6.620 Billion Uganda Shillings, only 4.632 Billion Shillings was released as shown in Table 7. All the released funds were utilized to meet staff contractual obligations like salaries, carry out regulatory activities like inspections, authorisations, enforcements, Dosimetry, consultative workshops; improving staff competence through trainings; capital expenditure and procuring quality control test kits and assorted inspection equipment. The fees collected as payment for authorisations are channelled to the Uganda Revenue Authority and no longer directly go into AEC’s accounts.

8.0 CHALLENGES The AEC encountered numerous challenges in executing its mandate during the quarter and they include;

1. Lack of a vote status The Council requires a vote status to meet the International Atomic Energy Agency standards expected of Uganda’s regulatory body as a member state of IAEA. The IAEA standards provide that the regulatory body should be financed by government for the independent execution of its functions, duties and responsibilities. The Council requires a vote to operate effectively and efficiently as required by the IAEA standards on radiation protection and safety.

AEC received a letter from the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development advising that grant of vote status for AEC will be revisited with a view of operationalizing it in the FY 2019/2020.

2. Lack of radiation protection and safety laboratories There is lack of laboratories that are critical in facilitating execution of Council’s mandate. These laboratories include food and environmental monitoring, dosimetry, non-ionizing among others. Council has already faced a number of challenges with clients who need such services.

3. Limited office space and equipment space The existing office space is inadequate to accommodate all the staff and the equipment. Radiation detection equipment must be kept under certain ambient conditions and most of it is getting adversely affected since they are stored in the same offices as staff.

4. Inadequate staffing There is understaffing of both technical and administrative staff. A number of critical positions in the organogram still remain vacant. This has affected the effective and efficient execution of Council’s mandate.

5. Inadequate inspection and monitoring equipment There is dire need of procuring more inspection equipment to effectively perform field activities like inspections, registration of radioactive sources, search and secure of radiation sources among others. More equipment is required particularly for environmental monitoring, food contamination analysis, ionizing radiation inspections and radioactive contamination testing.

6. Limited stakeholders and general public awareness about AEC and its roles. There is limited awareness of AEC activities among the public. There is therefore need to conduct more sensitization workshops to increase public awareness of the Council’s mandate and its activities and to increase compliance with nuclear safety and security in Uganda.

7. Omissions in the AEA. The AEA does not address all issues of regulating nuclear material, regulating Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM), regulating non-ionizing radiation and regulation of nuclear power development activities among others. These omissions in the Act require the Act to be reviewed in line with the IAEA General Safety Requirements for Safety to address the existing gaps.

57 | P a g e

9.0 WAY FORWARD Most of the Council institutional and operational challenges were finance related. Therefore, a strategic solution would be for the Council to get direct funding from Ministry of Finance Planning and Economic Development, which also need further exploitation. Realizing funds directly from the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development would mean creation of a vote for AEC.

10.0 CONCLUSION The Council has made considerable progress and achievements in the period 2017/2018 amidst the challenges. The Council will continue to focus on institutional development, establishing partnerships and collaborations, providing for the safety and security of radiation sources, protection of workers, the public and the environment against the dangers resulting from ionising radiation. Finally, the Council is thankful to the Honourable Minister, Ministers of State, the Permanent Secretary, and the Under Secretary of MEMD, for the support and guidance. With the Ministry’s continued support, the AEC is committed to achieving more as it looks forward to being the centre of excellence in regulating peaceful applications of ionizing radiation.

Appendix 14: Categorization of radiation sources The radiation sources are categorized according to the radiation risks associated with them in reference to their activity levels and dangerous values.

Category 1: Extremely dangerous This refers to a group of sources which if not safely managed or securely protected is likely to cause permanent injury to a person who handled it, or were otherwise in contact with it, for more than a few minutes. It is fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded material for a period of a few minutes to an hour. And if dispersed by a fire or explosion, it could possibly — but would be unlikely to — permanently injure or be life threatening to persons in the immediate vicinity. There would be little or no risk of immediate health effects to persons beyond a few hundred metres away, but contaminated areas would need to be cleaned up in accordance with international standards.

Category 2: Very dangerous: This refers to a group of sources which if not safely managed or securely protected, it is likely to cause permanent injury to a person who handled it, or is otherwise in contact with it, for a short time (minutes to hours). It could possibly be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of hours to days. And if dispersed by a fire or explosion, could possibly — but would be very unlikely to — permanently injure or be life threatening to persons in the immediate vicinity. There would be little or no risk of immediate health effects to persons beyond a hundred metres or so away, but contaminated areas would need to be cleaned up in accordance with international standards.

Category 3: Dangerous: This refers to a group of sources which if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled it, or is otherwise in contact with it, for some hours. It could possibly — although it is unlikely — be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of days to weeks. And if dispersed by a fire or explosion, could possibly — but is extremely unlikely to — permanently injure or be life threatening to persons in the immediate vicinity. There would be little or no risk of immediate health effects to persons beyond a few metres away, but contaminated areas would need to be cleaned up in accordance with international standards.

Category 4: Unlikely to be dangerous: It is very unlikely that anyone would be permanently injured by this amount of radioactive material. However, this amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly — although it is unlikely — temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks. And if dispersed by a fire or explosion, could not permanently injure persons.

Category 5: Not dangerous: No one could be permanently injured by this amount of radioactive material. And if dispersed by a fire or explosion, could not permanently injure persons.
