Abstract
This piece provides an in-depth assessment of the activities of the Ghana
Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NRA) since the promulgation of the Nuclear
Regulatory Authority Act, 2015 (Act 895). This paper further proposes
suggestions for enhancement after assessing the mission, efficacy,
difficulties, and conformity to global norms of the activities of the Nuclear
Regulatory Authority of Ghana. This paper has five main sections. The
introductory section provides an overview of nuclear technology globally as
well as the objectives of this research. It also provides a background on the
research processes that were used in this project. The second section discusses
provisions of the Nuclear Regulatory Authority Act, which are salient to this
research paper. The main primary research work and findings, which were
respectively done and gathered through the interviewing of officials at the NRA
about the Regulatory Authority’s operations from 2015 to 2024, are presented in
the third part. By contrasting the NRA's mandate with its actual performance,
the fourth section examines and assesses these findings and makes conclusions,
suggestions, and recommendations for improving the effectiveness and strengths
of NRA's operations. The final section summarises the main conclusions and
highlights the need to consolidate the strengths of NRA operations to guarantee
strong regulatory governance and nuclear safety.
