Experts have allayed fears over the safety of nuclear technology, saying Kenya stands to benefit immensely from its nascent nuclear programme.

Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA) officials, however, said that the country’s nuclear debut required long-term planning to fully harness.

They said that the enactment of the Nuclear Regulatory Act of 2019 which created KNRA was a welcome development in Kenya’s nuclear debut.

KNRA Director for Nuclear Security Isaac Mundia said that nuclear would help the country improve its energy independence, raising reliability of supply and reducing power costs thus growing the economy.
