BIOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF NATIONAL NUCLEAR POTENTIAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
As far back as 1947, radiactivity was identified with Tin Mine industry in Plateau State of Nigeria by the Geological and Survey Division of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Commission. The presence of Uranium and Thorium were confirmed as principal sources of radiactivity. Following this ' discovery, a ‘Radiation Protection Panel' was set up in 1958 by the Federal Government to advise it on their biological implications, under the auspices
of the Federal Ministry of Health. Subsequently, Nigeria took up membership
of International Atomic Energy Agency.
