  1. International Workshop on National Registers of Radiation Sources Vienna, Austria 20 to 23 March 2017 BURKINA FASO DERRA Salif

  2. contents Introduction • Regulatory Framework • Staff and organizational Chart of ARSN • National Register of sources • Challenges Conclusion

  3. INTRODUCTION The National Authority of Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety (ARSN) is the competent authority for radiation protection and nuclear safety in Burkina Faso. It was established by Law n°010 / AN of 26th April 2005 on nuclear safety and protection against ionizing radiation. The mission of the ARSN is to ensure nuclear safety and security in the country.

  4. INTRODUCTION (2) It is an organ with independent management but under the ministry in charge of environment. Since its creation, the ARSN has strengthened the regulatory framework by revising the 2005 law and adopting a number of decrees. The old law was rewied in order to take account some aspects as nuclear security and safeguards.

  5. I- Regulatory framework • Law and decrees: • Law n°032-2012/AN on nuclear safety, security and safeguards; • decree n°2008-056/PRES/PM/MECV on the organization, attribution and functioning of ARSN; • Decree n° 2015-1204 on radioactive waste management; • Decree n° 2015-1183 on inspection arrangements; • Decree n°2015-1227 on conditions and procedures for the issuance, renewal, modification, suspension or withdrawal of authorizations;

  6. Regulatory framework (2) • Drafts • Decree on general principles of protection of workers, population and the environment against the dangers of ionizing radiation; • Decree on transport of radioactive materials in Burkina Faso.

  7. II- STAFF OF ARSN Our authority is a small authority with a staff of twenty-nine people. The team is composed by Physicists, Engineers, Radiologist technicans, Environmental technicians, Lawers, Administrative and finance agents. It should be noted that the staff of the authority is mainly joung and newly recruited.

ARSN Organizational Chart MEEVCC DN/ARSN Secretariat SRHF Inspections Authorizations Regulations and Control Section: Regulations, Guidance and Procedures Section: Cooperation and communication Section: Licensingand Accreditations Section: Registry , Inventory and Database Management Section: Inspections and interventions Section: Quality Assurance

  9. III- National Register of sources Since its creation, the national authority has carried out inventories of ionizing radiation sources throughout the country. To do this, an inventory program is established according to the different administrative regions. These inventories are made from the collection sheets containing the relevant elements.

  10. National Register of sources

  11. National Register of sources(2) The data from these inventories are compiled and recorded in a national registry of sources. This register consists of physical files and digital files. The physical records (inventory records duly completed) of the inventories are stored in cabinets and the information contained in these records is also recorded in the RAIS. We have developed a codification to facilitate the recording of data in RAIS.

  12. National Register of sources(3) To record the source of faccility: SS -IND -078 -08 Domain Type of source Facility regulatorynumber Number of source

  13. National Register of sources(4) When saving data in RAIS a file is created for each installation with a serial number. As a reminder, the authority has started using the RAIS 3.0 since 2009 and then we mooved to the RAIS web 3.1 in 2012. All authorizations issued by the ARSN and the inspections carried out are recorded in the RAIS. Also all regulatory texts are recorded in the RAIS.

  14. IV- Challenges • Continue the inventory of sources in areas not yet inventoried; • set a quality management system; • develop procedures or emergency plans for sources found or lost from authorized control; • develop procedures to assess the transport safety arrangements for imported or exported sources while in transit; • Management of sources at end of life (return, storage).

  15. CONCLUSION For the best manage of our national register of sources , we would like to obtain the new version of the RAIS from the IAEA. Also the training of the staff for its use will be needed.

  16. Thank you for your attention!
