Ghana Research Reactor-1 is a miniature neutron source reactor (MNSR) which is currently fuelled with highly-enriched uranium (HEU) aluminium alloy fuel. Efforts are underway to convert the research reactor fuel to low-enriched uranium (LEU) oxide fuel. The project is coordinated research work funded by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) through its Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on Core Conversion. The research project was started with thermal hydraulic and neutronic calculation on both fuels. Radiological dose assessment as part of a safety assessment requirement needs to be carried out before the commencement of the core conversion project.
