The Government of Belize has established a new Office of Radiation Safety and Security within the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Climate Change, and Solid Waste Management. This office will act as the regulatory authority for all activities involving ionizing radiation, ensuring compliance with international safety standards and implementing agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for the peaceful use of nuclear materials. It will manage import/export controls, oversee radiation source inventories, and regulate the disposal of disused materials, reflecting Belize’s commitment to global safety and security.
