BACKGROUND

• In 1961, Ghana Government decided to undertake

“The Ghana Nuclear Reactor Project (GNRP)”.

• The central facility of the project was to be a

research reactor designed solely for research,

training and production of radioisotopes.

• It was envisaged that the research reactor will

facilitate the development of manpower and promote

plans for the introduction of nuclear power in

Ghana’s energy generation mix.

Background cont

• The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC)

was established by an act of Parliament (Act 204)

in 1963 to realize the objectives of the GNRP.

The act has been superseded by act 588 of 2000.

• The main functions of GAEC include the

promotion, development and utilization of the

peaceful application of nuclear and

biotechnological techniques for economic and

social advancement in Ghana.

GAEC MISSION STATEMENT

Include Among Others:

• Contributing to building a sustainable future for Ghana by facilitating the introduction of nuclear power into Ghana’s energy mix;

• Development of the human resource base in nuclear science, biotechnology and related fields.
