I. Yusuf, I.B. Mansir, B.B.M. Dewu Abstract The first and only nuclear research reactor in Nigeria is operated by Centre for Energy Research and Training, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. The Nigeria Research Reactor-1 (NIRR-1) is a Miniature Neutron Source Reactor (MNSR) that attained initial criticality on February 03, 2004. As part of the measures put in place to ensure safe operation of the facility is the strict adherence to the routine (preventive) and corrective maintenance activities established since its commissioning, and improved upon over the years. Easy access to the reactor top is especially ensured to facilitate rapid corrective maintenance response in case of emergency during reactor operation. The paper would discuss the details of the routine and corrective maintenance activities and their respective relation to the safe operation of NIRR-1.
