ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL (AEC) Protecting the Public and Environment ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL (AEC) Protecting the Public and Environment 1.0 What are the roles and functions of the AEC? is currently carrying out a national inventory/registry of sources and practices The Atomic Energy Council (AEC) is a government body ! using ionizing radiation. established by the Atomic Energy Act No. 24 of 2008 (AEA) Laws 1.1 Development of Regulations and Safety Guides Out of the 394 active facilities in AEC databases, 374 (94.9%) facilities have of Uganda with a mandate to regulate peaceful applications Section 73 and 74 of the AEA provides for the Council to make regulations been fully registered as medical and industrial practices by end of February, of ionizing radiation in Uganda; to provide for the protection and to issue directions, guidelines, codes and standards for better carrying 2018. Radioactive sources and radiation generators are registered by putting and safety of individuals, society and the environment from the into effect of the provisions of the Act. The Council issued the Atomic Energy serialized stickers, taking a photo and also recording particulars of the machines dangers of ionizing radiation. The use of atomic energy in Uganda Regulations, 2012 and developed four (4) safety guides for radiation protection (model, serial number, manufacturer, activity…etc) is in medical, industrial, agriculture, research among other fields. and safety in the field of medical and industrial fields. Other eight (8) safety guides have been drafted and under review.

Vision To be a centre of excellence in regulating peaceful applications 1.5 Authorization/Licensing of Facilities of ionizing radiation. Section 9(b) of the Act mandates Council to issue authorisations and grant exemptions for possession and use of radiation sources. These include license to possess & use radiation sources, permits to transport, import, export, Commonly regulated practices in Uganda transfer, sell radiation sources, among others. A total of 334 valid licenses for possess and use (P&U) have been issued to # RADIATION EQUIPMENT/ COMMONLY USED 274 facilities out of 394 active facilities recorded in our databases making a DEVICE EQUIPMENT/SOURCES percentage of 69.5% of registered facilities.

AEC with the assistance of the IAEA developed an Integrated Nuclear Security Support Plan (INSSP) for Uganda with the purpose of setting up a nuclear security infrastructure and nuclear security detection architecture. When these are seen on non-owned items (orphaned), please report to Council immediately using a tool free line (0800100488). 4.0 How can one minimize unnecessary exposure to Thermo Luminescent Dosimeter (TLD) reader at TLD badge radiation in facilities? AEC used for reading personal radiation badges By using the principle of time, distance and shielding. 1.7 Sensitization workshops conducted. Time: The more time you spend near a radiation source, the more the radiation AEC conducts regional training workshops for Radiation Safety Officers (RSOs) and dose one absorbs. It is therefore advised you spend as little time as possible near Legal persons in medical and industrial facilities in areas of Radiation Protection, a radiation source.

This report, for the first time, coincides with the Government financial year. 2. From the financial point of view the year has again been one of considerable difficulty since, as a result of the Economy Commission Report, it was necessary to restrict the money available for recurrent expenditure to the same level as the previous year. Although an additional sum was available to cover normal increases in salaries, the general effect was that many economies had to in all be made grades of staff; some important vacancies could not be filled, and expansion was out of the question.
