INTRODUCTION  Burkina Faso knows an increasing of the uses of nuclear technologies in various sectors.  So the Regulatory Body (ARSN) works to have total control of all the nuclear and radiological sources in Burkina Faso. Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography

I / Responsabilities and functions of the regulatory Body  ARSN was created by the law No.010/2005/AN about nuclear safety and protection against ionizing rays in Burkina Faso. But it was recently reviewed and adopted at Jun 8,  This law is now Safety and Nuclear Security and Safeguards.  ARSN has established to ensure the protection of the workers, the public and environment against the ionizing rays effects.  It is under the authority of the Environment and Sustainable Development Department.

ARSN Organisation : MEDD Secrétariat SRHF DN/ARSN Division des Autorisations Division des Inspections Division de la Réglementation et du contrôle Section: Réglementation code et procédure Section: coopération, communication Section: Autorisation et Agréments Section: Registre national des sources et de gestion des bases de données Sections: inspection et interventions Section: Assurance qualité Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography

Missions and attributions  Nuclear law and regulation texts, national safety and nuclear security politic, emergency plan elaboration;  Ionizing ray facilities, medical installation, radio-actif sources SRI Inspection;  Establishment and update national data base of sources;  Establish and maintain exchange relating informations and cooperations Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography

II/ Authorizations  ARSN Authorization Division have four (04) Technician and one (01) Civil Administrator to evaluate all procedures in order to be authorized.  We have three (03) industrial radiograpy operators which come from Ivory Coast to do this job they are: SAPRESSI CI, APAVE, VERITAS. (Use, Storage, Transport) Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography

Sources Nber of sourcesApplications Irradiator1 ( 2 in project) Used by (CIRDES) to sterilize the ste flies to fight against onchocercose in west african area. Industrial Radiography SAPRESSI CI, VERITAS, APAV Used to control the weldings of the pipes. Level Gauge (fixed) 26 Used to control the density of the ores which crosses the pipes. 1 Non-medical applications Results of radiation sources Inventory Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography

 ARSN Inspection Division have three (03) Technician and one (01) engineer.  We have annual inspection programm for all ionizing rays installations but now for the industrial radiography we don’t carried out inspections at the job sites. Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography III/ Inspections

Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography  Each years ARSN do trainning of Competent Person in Radioprotection (PCR) in mining, BTP, industrial. Number of trained workers  But no trainning for operator of industrial radiography now. IV/ Training YearsNumber

Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography  Burkina Faso adopted in March 18, 2014 the following conventions: Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident; Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency Convention of Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and its Amendment. V/ Regulation and guides

Radiation safety in Industrial Radiography  ARSN woks to finalizing the national emergency plan in collaboration with the stakeholder involved in the control of nuclear safety such as: Customs Administration, Defence Ministry, Health Ministry, Civil protection administration (e.g).  In this order ARSN organized the Regional Meeting on Review of Emergency Preparedness and Response at 7-11 April VI/ Emergency Response

CONCLUSION  ARSN works in collaboration with IAEA and the parteners to control the radioactives sources to ensure the protection of the population and environment against ionizing rays effects.  Then for the good management of the safety and the security of the sources, we attach great importance to the partnership and the exchanges of experiences in nuclear domain.
