• Resumen

  • In recent years, Nigeria has faced a number of security challenges, from terrorism to hostage-taking for ransom. Although Nigeria’s only operating research reactor — Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1) — has operated for more than a decade without a security incident, we remain vigilant in order to protect our nuclear and radioactive material and facilities in the face of this evolving security environment. Our commitment to nuclear security has led to improvements in security processes and procedures at NIRR-1 and at all of Nigeria’s critical infrastructure facilities.
