NIGERIA BASIC IONIZING RADIATION REGULATIONS (NiBIRR)
NiBIRR implements international best practices as contained in the International Basic Safety Standard for Protection against Ionizing Radiation and for the Safety of Radiation Sources (BSS) and the provisions of the Act
International Basic Safety Standards (BSS) - SS 115 (Published 1996)
• Co-sponsored by 6 international organizations : FAO, IAEA, ILO, OECD/NEA, PAHO and WHO
BSS is the basis for the NiBIRR
OBJECTIVES
NiBIRR and the supporting Guidance and Codes of Practice to be issued under it are to:
1. Establish a Framework for Ensuring that Occupational Exposure
to Ionizing Radiation, whether Natural or Man-Made, and from
External Radiation (e.g. X-Ray Set) or Internal Radiation (e.g.
Inhalation of Radioactive Substance) is safe
2. Ensure that Exposure to Ionizing Radiation is kept As Low As
Reasonably Achievable (ALARA Principle) and
3. Ensure that Exposure to Ionizing Radiation does not Exceed
Dose Limits Specified for Individuals
