1. (SBU) SUMMARY.  On April 10, ESTHOff met with the Director 
General of the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority (NNRA), 
Professor Shemsiden Elegba, who reported that he has been elected to 
chair the newly-formed Forum of Regulatory Bodies in Africa 
(FORBIA).  The forum aims to harmonize and strengthen the nuclear 
safety and security regulatory framework of its members as well as 
their technical capacity.  The new chairman stated that the forum 
has requested U.S. assistance, through U.S. representatives 
attending the inaugural meeting, in building the capacity of its 
member states.  He also mentioned that the NNRA, in collaboration 
with the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), will 
hold radiation detection and recovery training for its employees in 
October.  The U.S. Mission recommends continued U.S. engagement with 
the NNRA and believes such collaboration will have broader impact 
beyond Nigeria.  END SUMMARY. 
. 
New Nuclear Regulatory Body Set Up 
---------------------------------- 
. 
2. (U) In an April 10 meeting with ESTHOff, the Director General of 
the NNRA, Professor Shemsiden Elegba, reported that he was elected 
the first-ever Chairman of FORBIA at a March 25 meeting held in 
Pretoria, South Africa.  The forum was established to harmonize and 
strengthen the nuclear safety and security regulatory framework as 
well as technical capacity of its members.  So far, the following 
countries have signed the forum's charter:  Algeria, Angola, 
Botswana, Central African Republic, Cameron, Cote D'Ivoire, 
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Gabon, Kenya, 
Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Morocco, Namibia, Nigeria, Niger, 
Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, and 
Zimbabwe.  Representatives of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 
(NRC), European Radiation Protection Authorities Network, the Asian 
Nuclear Safety Network, and International Atomic Energy Agency also 
attended the launch of the forum and discussed possible future 
collaboration with the new regional body, Elegba said. 
3. (U) Elegba reported that an African Thematic Working Group on 
Regulatory Infrastructure for Nuclear Power Plants was established 
at the same meeting to enhance the capacity of FORBIA members 
through greater exchanges of information and technical expertise. 
The short-term objective of FORBIA is to train a core group of 
experts that will serve as in-house trainers in regional training 
courses that the organization intends to offer to its members in the 
future. 
. 
Request for USG Assistance 
-------------------------- 
. 
4. (U) Elegba stated that the working group has, through U.S. 
representatives at the meeting, requested U.S. capacity-building 
assistance.  African nuclear regulators, according to Elegba, are 
particularly interested in strengthening their regulatory framework 
and enhancing the technical capacity of their personnel to conduct 
feasibility studies, site assessments, licensing, and the inspection 
of nuclear power plant projects.  He added that the NRC is 
considering including two designees from FORBIA member states to 
participate in a U.S.-sponsored training workshop to be held in 
Vietnam in the summer of 2009. 
 
5.  (U) Elegba also reported that the NNRA, in collaboration with 
the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), will hold 
a radiation detection and recovery training for its employees in 
October (date yet to be determined) under the latter's Global Threat 
Reduction Search and Secure Project.  (Note:  A similar training was 
conducted in November 2008, at the conclusion of which the NNRA 
received U.S. radiation detection equipment worth $100,000.  End 
Note). 
. 
Comment 
------- 
. 
6. (SBU) The NNRA is one of the oldest nuclear regulatory bodies in 
Africa (established in 2001) and is an active participant in 
discussions at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and 
regional forums.  The election of the NNRA's Chief Executive as the 
first chairman of the continental body FORBIA is testimony to 
Nigeria's interest and activities in this filed.  The U.S. Mission 
recommends continued U.S. collaboration with the NNRA and believes 
such engagement will have broader impact beyond Nigeria. 
 
7. (U) This cable has been coordinated with Consulate Lagos.
