Description
Radioactive materials have been used in Ghana for more than four decades. They are used in medicine, industries, and for research and teaching purposes. Due to the numerous social and economic benefits derived from the use of radioactive materials there has been a noticeable growth in the use of radioactive materials in Ghana. The radioactive waste produced must be managed. The National Radioactive Waste Management Centre was therefore established to carry out radioactive waste safety operations in Ghana. This paper highlights radioactive waste management strategies being adopted by the National Radioactive Waste Management Centre to manage radioactive waste anticipated and in existence. (author)
