A wide range of high, intermediate and low risk radiation sources (radioactive and electrically generated) are also used in teaching, research and development by laboratories and universities.

In Nigeria we have:

• 8 X-ray Diffractometers and Spectrometers
• 13 registered  sealed calibration sources for teaching
• Open radioactive sources for research
• Three 14 MeV Neutron Generators
• Two 8 MeV van de Graff accelerator

NNRA provides regulatory oversight over those activities to ensure compliance with best practices and national policy goals in educational and research activities connected with nuclear energy.
