ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL

ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2012/2013

“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”

Atomic Energy Council 2 Annual Report 2012/2013 FOREWARD The Atomic Energy Council was established by the Atomic Energy Act, 2008, Cap. 143 Laws of , to regulate the peaceful applications of ionizing radiation in the country. The Council consists ofthe policy organ with five Council Members headed by the Chairperson appointed by the Minister and the full time Secretariat headed by the Secretary.

The Council has extended services to various areas of the Country ranging from registering facilities that use radiation sources, authorization of operators, monitoring occupational workers, carrying out inspections in facilities among others. The Council made achievements which include establishing the Secretariat, gazetting of the Atomic Energy Regulations, 2012, developing safety guides for medical and industrial practices, establishing systems of notifications, authorizations and inspections, establishing national and international collaborations with other regulatory bodies and acquisition of some equipment among others.

The Council has had funding as the major constraint to the implementation of the Act and the regulations coupled with inadequate equipment and insufficient administrative and technical staff. The Council will focus on institutional development, establishing partnerships and collaborations and safety and security of radioactive sources.

The Council would like to thank the government and in particular the MEMD, the International Atomic Energy Agency, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other organizations and persons who have helped Council in carrying out its mandate.

V Atomic Energy Council 7. Annual Report 2012/2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The mandate of Council is 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 use of atomic energy in Uganda isin medical, industry, agriculture, research and education institutions.

We come to the end of another successful year in which a number of achievements were registered in our quest to protect the public and the environment from the dangers of ionising radiation. Indeed, AEC services continue to grow from strength to strength, pillared by our supportive and dedicated Council and staff.

During the financial year 2012/2013, AEC registered 226 radiation sources, 72 facilities were inspected, and 141 notifications and application forms were received and assessed, 97 licenses and permits were issued, 22 facilities with 255 radiation workers were monitored, 04 staff were sent for long term trainings, the AEC Secretariat currently has 21 staff of which 12 are technical and 09 are administrative, 02 safety guides were drafted and reviewed with experts from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The updated inventory of radiation sources now stands at 167 for radioactive materials and 489for radiation generators.

In our quest to protect the public and the environment from the adverse effects of ionising radiation, a number of challenges were encountered that hampered our optimal performance. The challenges encountered during the year included inadequate funding which made some of the planned activities not to be implemented, inadequate human resources, inadequate inspection and monitoring equipment, lack of compliance by the operators of radiation sources, inadequate public awareness about safety and security aspects of radiation sources. However, most of the challenges were financial related and it is hoped that when Council acquires a vote and appropriations from government, AEC shall be able to perform better. It is my conviction that the success attained so far will encourage us and galvanise us for the challenges ahead.

Atomic Energy Council 8 VI Annual Report 2012/2013 I am grateful to the Minister, Ministers of State, the Permanent Secretary, Director/Energy and Mineral Development, Under Secretary, Ag. Commissioner/Energy Resources Department, Head/ Sector Planning Unit, Principal Accountant, Principal Internal Auditor, Principal Assistant Secretary, Principal Personnel Officer, the National Liaison Officer and the entire Ministry staff for the support and guidance to the Council since its establishment.

I thank our development partners particularly the IAEA, USNRC, USDOE, KINGS, KINS and others for supporting our initiatives in form of inspection equipment, technical advice and training opportunities extended to us. Without this support, we would not have registered the achievements outlined in this report and overcome the many challenges faced during the year.

On the same note, on behalf of the staff of AEC, I would like to thank the Council members for their insightful guidance and support throughout the 2012/13 financial year. I thank all staff members at the Secretariat for their relentless dedication, resilience and innovation in developing the atomic energy regulatory regime to protect the public and the environment from the dangers resulting from ionising radiation.

Lastly, I thank our clients who are the operators of radiation sources and all our stakeholders for the support they have given us to protect the public and the environment from the dangers of ionising radiation.

It is now my pleasure to invite you to read this annual report which provides in greater detail, the achievements, developments and challenges of the Council in 2012/13 financial year as we plan and aspire for greater performance and development in the coming financial year and beyond.

Thank you,

Deogratias Noah Luwalira, BSc/Ed (Hons), B.Com (Hons), MSc, MBA, ACCA (Affiliate) SECRETARY & CEO, ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL

The functions of the AEC as per section 9 of the Atomic Energy Act, 2008 establishing the Council are: 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; 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.

Atomic Energy Council 4 Annual Report 2012/2013 2.0 REGULATORY FUNCTIONS

AEC is mandated to perform the following functions: 2.1 Registration of facilities that use radiation sources AEC undertakes registration of facilities that use radiation sources in order to establish the registry and inventory of radiation sources in Uganda for their safety and security and for the purposes of ensuring regulatory control and planning. The Council commenced formal registration of facilities using radiation sources in phases in August 2012. Phases 1, 2 and 3 were designed to cover the Central region; phase 4, the Western region, while phases 5 and 6, the Eastern region and the Northern region respectively. Successful registration of facilities that use radiation sources in the five divisions of Kampala district was completed in phase 1. Among other activities, the exercise involved capturing data on manufacturer, suppliers, operators, and the source specifications like model and serial numbers. The sources were also tagged. The captured data will be continually updated. The different areas covered in Kampala under phase 1 are shown in figure 1.

Figure 1: Registration of facilities and sources in the five divisions of Kampala district.

Atomic Energy Council 5 Annual Report 2012/2013 During the first phase, a total of 137 facilities were inspected of which only 97 had sources. A total of 226 sources (52 sealed radioactive sources and 174 radiation generators) were registered in 97 facilities (Appendix 4).

The categorization of these sources as per Atomic Energy Regulations, 2012 is shown in the Table1

Table 1: Distribution of sources registered by category Category Level of danger No. of Sources 1 Extremely dangerous 2 2 Very dangerous 62 3 Dangerous 122 4 Unlikely to be dangerous 35 5 Not dangerous 6 Total 226

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

Category 1:Personally extremely dangerous: This amount of radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected would be 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 would probably be 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, 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: Personally very dangerous: This amount of radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled it, or were 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.

Atomic Energy Council 6 Annual Report 2012/2013 Category 3: Personally dangerous: This amount of radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled it, or were 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.

Thus category 1 and 2 are high risk, Category 3 are of moderate risk whereas category 4 and 5 are of low risk. One of the two sources in category one is at Hospital Complex used for cancer treatment and the other one is at Lacor Hospital but no longer in use and now it is a radioactive waste. The categorization of the sources in relative terms is illustrated in figure 2. Most of the radiation sources (about 54%) were in category 3.

Most of the radiation generators were plain X-ray machines used for diagnosis in hospitals, clinics and other health centres.

Atomic Energy Council 10 Annual Report 2012/2013 2.2 Inspections Radiation Safety Compliance The law mandates AEC to conduct inspections to assess radiation safety and security conditions and compliance with the Act and the regulations and other requirements specified in the authorization issued by AEC. In this regard therefore, the AEC conducts announced and unannounced inspections and investigations designed to ensure that the activities it licenses are conducted in compliance with the Atomic Energy Act, 2008 and the Atomic Energy Regulations, 2012, the conditions of the licenses, and other requirements. During this reporting period, inspections targeted facilities within Kampala district, some surrounding and upcountry districts.. A total of 72 facilities were inspected (Appendix 5) for radiation safety compliance in the districts of Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, Jinja, , Tororo, Kasese, Mbale and Busia . The inspections covered both licensed and unlicensed facilities and included medical, industrial, research and educational institutions.

The major objectives of these inspections based on Atomic Energy Regulations, 2012 were to: a) Determine if the facility management complies with the administrative and management requirements and the requirements for the safety and security of radiation sources; b) Determine if the facility management ensures adequate occupational and public exposure protection; c) Verify protection and safety of the workers and the general public

During the on-site inspections, it was found out that a majority of the facilities meet the basic minimum requirements while a few, were operating below the minimum requirements. As such, each facility was given a detailed inspection report that outlined both the strong and weak areas. For weak areas (violations) the management was directed to address them within three months from the date of receipt of the inspection report.

It was also found out that most facilities do not have Radiation Safety Committees (RSC) and Radiation Safety Officers (RSO) formally constituted and appointed as required by the Act and the Regulations, thereby compromising the safety and compliance status of such facilities. Many other facilities were operating without a license contrary to section 32 of the Act and these were particularly asked to notify the Council and apply for authorisation. The figure below show some AEC officers during inspection of various medical facilities

Radioactive Contamination Testing Following the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan in March 2011, there was fear among the public that imported vehicles from Japan were contaminated with radioactive materials.

Figure 6: Fukushima nuclear disaster that occurred in March 2011.

Atomic Energy Council 13 Annual Report 2012/2013 When the Council acquired some equipment in August 2012 to detect radioactive contamination, the Secretariat embarked on a survey to detect any radioactively contaminated cars from different car bonds in Kampala. The survey was to detect any vehicles that had radiation levels higher than the background radiation levels.

The figures below show some AEC officers during radioactive testing of vehicles.

Results from the tested vehicles showed no contamination.

2.3 Licensing of practices and sources

Under the Atomic Energy Act, 2008, Cap 143 Laws of Uganda, the AEC is mandated to license, regulate and establish technical requirements for all nuclear-related activities in Uganda. Every person whose practice involves or includes the production, processing, handling, use, holding, storage, transport or disposal of natural and artificial radioactive material and devices emitting ionising radiation must first obtain a license from the AEC. AEC provides clarity on regulatory expectations and oversees their activities to ensure that they are meeting the statutory requirements.

The AEC uses risk-informed regulatory approaches to plan and carry out licensing and compliance activities in order to establish appropriate regulatory requirements commensurate with the activities and the risk involved. For facilities or activities where an accident could have severe consequences, the AEC requires licensees to implement multiple layers of defence, in order to further minimize the likelihood of such an accident. That way, if a safety system or program fails, others are in place to keep the facility and workers safe and limit potential emissions. The AEC’s strict oversight, which includes onsite inspections, ensures licensees are operating safely and adhering to their license conditions.

The process of authorization begins with submission of notification and application form as per section 32 and 34 of the Act. In the FY 2012/2013, the reporting period, a total of 141

Atomic Energy Council 15 Annual Report 2012/2013 notifications and application forms were received, verified and assessed (Appendix 7). A total of 97 licenses and permits were issued (Appendix 8) as shown in figure 9 below

Figure 8: Distribution of permits and licenses issued.

2.4 Occupational exposure Monitoring of Radiation Workers The AEC Act mandates the Council to monitor and appraise radiation workers, the public and the environment on the extent of radiation exposure for their safety. In this regard, the AEC continues to monitor and appraise all radiation workers with Thermolumiscent dosimeters (TLD). Workers are monitored using TLD’s which are periodically read (every 3 months), annealed and calibrated for continuous absorbed dose measurements.

A total of 22 facilities with 255 radiation workers were monitored during the reporting period (Appendix 6). From the dosimetry reports delivered to the facilities being monitored, there were no cases of absorbed doses higher than the regulatory limits to warrant further investigations. This shows that the radiation workers are knowledgeable about radiation protection concepts and the optimisation principle by applying the ALARA(As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle.

The AEC expects to acquire a modern Harshaw TLD reader, Model 6600 DXT PLUS with the support of the IAEA. When acquired, the process of reading and annealing TLDs is expected to be fast and more radiation workers will be monitored. A dosimetry laboratory will be set up to facilitate the provision of dosimetry services in Uganda.

Atomic Energy Council 16 Annual Report 2012/2013 3.0 CAPACITY BUILDING 3.1 Human Resources: Human resources management is the management of an organisations workforce or human resource. It is responsible for the attraction, selection, training, assessment and rewarding of employees while also overseeing organisational leadership and culture and ensuring compliance with employment and labour laws.

3.2 Staff Recruitment The number of technical staff increased from five (05) to twelve (12) while for the administrative staff, the number increased from four (04) to nine (09). Among the recruited staff as Trainee – Radiation Protection and Safety, five (5) were male and two (2) were female whereas two (2) who were recruited as Trainee – Records management were female.

3.3 Staff training To ensure a continued supply of highly qualified and competent staff to support its mandate in the promotion of nuclear safety and security, the Atomic Energy Council training and development policy emphasizes both long and short- term trainings targeting skills enrichment (Appendix 9). The policy encourages and supports staff to attain their maximum potential. The policy enables eligible staff equal and appropriate training opportunities. In this regard, AEC staff have gone for long and short term trainings:

Atomic Energy Council 19 Annual Report 2012/2013 4.0 RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE PLAN DEVELOPMENT

The AEC Act, section 57 mandates the Minister in consultation with the Council to establish a radiological emergency response committee to prepare a national emergency preparedness and response plan; to ensure that arrangements are in place for a timely, managed, controlled, coordinated and effective response at the scene and at the local, regional, national and international level, to any nuclear and radiological emergency; and to prepare and periodically review emergency preparedness, response action levels and intervention levels. In this regard, the following ministries, departments and agencies/organisations were requested to nominate one representative to be on the Radiological Response Emergence Committee of the Atomic Energy Council: a) Ministry of Health; b) Ministry responsible for information; c) Ministry responsible for disaster preparedness; d) National Environment Management Authority; e) Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces; f) Uganda Police Force; g) Uganda Prisons Service; and h) International Committee of the Red Cross.

Each of the above governmemnt agency appointed the nominee whose name the AEC will present to the Minister so that the committee is officially constituted. The AEC sought technical assistance from the IAEA to help the committee draw the National Action Plan. The request was considered and an expert was assigned to handle Uganda’s radiological related emergency issues. Additionally, the AEC requires all licensees to demonstrate that their workers and management are fully trained to carry out their duties competently and have comprehensive emergency programs.

Atomic Energy Council 20 Annual Report 2012/2013 5.0 INTERNATIONAL CO-OPERATION

AEC staff participate in many national and international technical projects and meetings to improve the safety and security of facilities and activities related to radiation sources. These projects and meetings address areas of safety and security of radiation sources. AEC collaborates with a number of international partners among which are:

5.1 International Atomic Energy Agency(IAEA) 5.1.1 Country Projects and Regional Projects The IAEA through its department of Technical Cooperation coordinates projects with member states to provide technical assistance in terms of training, equipment and advice. During the reporting period, a number of AEC staff /Council members were involved in coordination of IAEA sponsored projects as shown in table 9 below:

Atomic Energy Council 22 Annual Report 2012/2013 5.2 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission-USNRC During the reporting period, AEC was able to establish a functional partnership with the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) to register all radiation sources in the country. As mentioned earlier, the exercise is to be completed in six phases and the funds for the first phase were provided by USNRC. During the preparation stages of the exercise, USNRC provided training on software (RASOD) for data storage, computer and camera. These are now property of AEC and the database serves as a National Register of radiation sources in Uganda from which information about the operations of different facilities can be retrieved and different reports can be generated according to specifications and requirements of the user. The collaboration between AEC and US NRC will continue till all the phases are covered. The USNRC also pledged willingness to provide equipment and support AEC in its inspection and training programmes among others.

Atomic Energy Council 23 Annual Report 2012/2013 5.3 United States Department of Energy (US DoE)

The AEC also met with members from the United States Department of Energy (US DoE) to work out a collaboration in the development of a radioactive sources storage facility on the land acquired by AEC at Mpoma in Mukono district. The facility will be used to store ophan sources, disused sources and other radioactive waste until final disposal. The US DoE showed willingness to train AEC staff in the search and securing of sources which are not under regulatory control, provide equipment and support the construction of the storage facility.

Atomic Energy Council 24 Annual Report 2012/2013 6.0 DEVELOPMENT OF REGULATIONS AND SAFETY GUIDES The AEC Act, section 73 mandates the Council to make regulations and issue directions, guidelines, codes and standards for the better carrying into effect of the provisions of the Act. After the gazetting of the Atomic Energy Regulations, 2012, there was a need to employ a method of enforcing them. As such, the AEC Secretariat embarked on the process of drafting the enforcement policy. The policy is in its final stages of completion.

Additionally, the Council developed two standards known as Atomic Energy Council Radiation Safety Standards (AEC-RSS) with the help of IAEA expert from Finland. These standards outline specific requirements for safety and security of the radiation sources from the authorized persons.

The Standards developed were: (i) AEC – RSS 2.1, 2013, AEC RADIATION SAFETY STANDARD, SAFE USE OF INDUSTRIAL DEVICES CONTAINING RADIOACTIVE SOURCES.

This radiation safety standard presents the radiation safety requirements for devices containing radioactive sealed sources, and for their installation and use. The requirements of this standard apply in particular to industrial uses of such devices.

Industrial devices containing sealed sources are generally used in the same premises of an industrial plant where continual work is done. Workers will not generally need to be classified as radiation workers, nor will any monitoring of radiation exposure or classification of work areas be required; provided that the use of devices containing sealed sources is arranged in accordance with the requirements of this standard. (ii) AEC – RSS 2.2, 2013, AEC RADIATION SAFETY STANDARD, SAFE USE OF INDUSTRIAL RADIOGRAPHY DEVICES (X-ray and Gamma).

This radiation safety standard presents the radiation safety requirements for industrial radiography practices (both x-ray and gamma radiography). The radiation safety standards shall also apply to scanning and imaging practices, where they are undertaken in conditions and with devices similar to those in industrial radiography. Such practices include, for example; scanning of objects using pulsed X-ray devices and particle accelerators.

Atomic Energy Council 25 Annual Report 2012/2013 Industrial radiography is usually undertaken in field conditions or in premises of an industrial plant where other workers are present. Industrial radiographers, trainee radiographers and assistants must be classified as radiation workers, therefore their radiation exposures must be monitored and the work areas must be classified. Other workers will not need to be classified as radiation workers, nor will any monitoring of radiation exposure be required, provided that the practice is conducted in accordance with the requirements of this standard.

Figure 16: Participants during the development of medical safety guides

In addition to the above, the Secretariat developed the following guides/standards. (iii) AEC RADIATION SAFETY STANDARD, SAFE USE OF BAGGAGE AND CARGO X-RAY INSPECTION SYSTEMS,

This Safety Standard provides requirements and guidance intended to ensure that the radiation risks from baggage and cargo x-ray inspection systems remain negligibly low (i.e. the same as the risks from unavoidable, natural background radiation levels).

(iv) AEC RADIATION SAFETY STANDARD, SAFE USE OF UNSEALED RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS, THERAPY AND RESEARCH This Safety Guide provides practical guidance on how the regulatory requirements may be fulfilled in relation to the protection of persons (patients, comforters, careers, research volunteers, etc) from exposures resulting from the use of ionizing radiation in nuclear medicine and other research practice with radionuclides. It includes specific guidance for protection in all areas of medical, public and occupational exposures and, in particular, the radiological protection of patients, including equipment and operational factors.

Atomic Energy Council 26 Annual Report 2012/2013 To assist personnel in achieving these objectives, this Safety Guide: 1. Specifies minimum standards of safe design, construction of radionuclide laboratory; 2. Presents recommended practices for minimizing operator exposures and ensuring that unsealed radioactive materials are used in a safe manner; 3. Specifies minimum quality control requirements for nuclear medicine equipment; and 4. Sets out the relative responsibilities of the owner, responsible user, operator and other personnel.

(V) INSPECTION GUIDANCE MANUAL, MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC X- RAY FACILITIES This inspection manual provides requirements and guidance for radiation safety inspectors of Atomic Energy Council (regulatory authority) who perform compliance surveys for diagnostic x-rays facilities in order to ensure that radiation risk from x-ray equipment used in the practice remain low and compliant with regulatory requirements. The above drafted guides were reviewed by the IAEA Expert and the Secretariat in the first week of August, 2013.

Communication and Public Awareness Social media has played a major role in informing the public about the Council mandate and activities. Given the importance of social media in public communications, the AEC has been accelerating its adoption of social media tools to reinforce its online presence and to ensure timely access to safety information like facebook, twitter, and the AEC website: www. atomiccouncil.go.ug Over the past year, AEC held informative seminars where they explained the AEC’s roles, functions and responsibilities. Four sessions were held this year in Kampala among which was during the Ministry of Energy Mineral Development Joint Sector Review in October 2012, Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau (UCMB), Uganda Society for Advancement of Radiology and Imaging (USOFARI) among others.

Atomic Energy Council 2 7. Annual Report 2012/2013 7.0 FINANCES

The three official sources of Council funds as per the AEC Act, 2008 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.

Currently, Council is being funded under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development. Therefore, no funds are directly appropriated by Parliament to Council. All funds were utilized to meet staff contractual obligations like salaries and to execute Council regulatory functions like carrying out inspections. The table below shows Council sources of revenue during the reporting period.

Table 10: Council sources of funding during the reporting period FY 2012/2013 Quarters GoU/MEMD (ugx) Fees (ugx) Donations subtotal (ugx) USNRC (ugx) 1 57.,951,450 48,320,000 28,17.1,7.7.5 134,443,225 2 155,7.33,116 29,250,000 - 184,983,116 3 - 62,7.60,000 9,993,527. 72,753,527 4 224,531,439 38,843,650 - 263,375,089 Sub total 438,216,005 179,173,650 38,165,302 GRAND 655,554,957 TOTAL

Figure 18: Sources of AEC funding by percentage

Atomic Energy Council 28 Annual Report 2012/2013 Figure 15 demonstrates that the major source of funding is from the government through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development.

Because of the shortage of staff, the AEC still utilizes the finance management structures of the Ministry. Though throughout the financial year, Council received inadequate funds released for operations, the Ministry prioritized staff salaries. Therefore, the financial year ended with no arrears for salaries.

In February, 2013, the AEC acquired and installed the Accounting Information System (AIS). With this system, the following data are now being stored electronically: Revenue, expenditure, inventory, purchase requisitions, supplier invoices, delivery notes, receipts etc, cheque payment vouchers, cheque registers, payroll information, asset register, tax information (PAYE and withholding tax), petty cash vouchers/books, bank accounts/reconciliations.

Additionally, the system can generate reports regarding:

• payroll (NSSF, PAYE, pay slip, salary payment by bank), • financial ( income and expenditure, cash flow, general ledger, financial position / balance sheet, trial balance, quarterly expenditure, quarterly revenues, contacts of service providers and their contacts etc. The Council plans to recruit finance and accounting staff to fully establish a fully fledged accounting systemin the Financial year2013/ 2014.

Atomic Energy Council 29 Annual Report 2012/2013 8.0 CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT

AEC acquired 11.5 acres of land using funds provided by the government of Uganda through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMD). This land is to be developed as a waste management facility with laboratories, offices and a training centre. Council had planned to develop a master plan for the utilization of this land but this was not realized due to limited funds. However consultations are already underway with IAEA to advise on how to design such a facility.

Figure 19: Atomic Energy Council Land at Mpoma in Mukono district.

Atomic Energy Council 30 Annual Report 2012/2013 9.0 PLANNED ACTIVITIES FOR THE FY2013/2014

During the next financial year 2013/2014 the following were identified as key priorities

a) Increasing the number of inspections to 100 b) Procuring more TLDs so as to increase on the number of radiation workers being monitored. c) Development of a Master Plan for the utilization of the land at Mpoma. d) Recruitment of more technical and administrative staff. e) Developing practice specific standards and safety guides. f) Intensifying public awareness. g) Registration of sources, practices and facilities h) Training staff in the fields of Nuclear science and Technology, and Radiation Protection and Safety. i) Search and secure of orphan sources. j) Authorisation of operators of radiationsources. k) Establish a Radiological Emergency Preparedness and Response Committee. l) Establish more collaborations and partnerships. m) Develop a 5 year Strategic Plan. n) Design a curriculum for training radiation workers. o) Develop an enforcement policy. p) Set up a dosimetry laboratory.

Atomic Energy Council 31 Annual Report 2012/2013 10.0 CHALLENGES AND WAY FORWARD

Council experienced the following challenges during the reporting period: • Inadequate quarterly releases from the government/MEMD • Limited office space to accommodate the staff; • Inadequate inspection equipment • Inadequate vehicles • Low staffing levels

Way Forward Most of 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 to supplement the existing sources 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.

11.0 CONCLUSION

The Council has made considerable progress and achievements in the period 2012/2013 amidst challenges. The Council will continue to focus on institutional development, establishing partnerships and collaborations and providing for the safety and security of radiation sources and protect the workers, the public and the environment against the dangers resulting from ionising radiation.

Finally, the Council is thankful to the Honorable Minister, Ministers of State, the Permanent Secretary, the Director- Energy and Mineral Development for the support and guidance. With the Ministry’s continued support, the AEC is committed to achieving more as AEC looks forward to being the centre of excellence in regulating peaceful applications of ionizing radiation.
