An IAEA team has assessed Kenya's radiation protection processes during an ORPAS mission and found that the country's transition to digital radiation monitoring is improving worker safety. The assessment, requested by the Kenyan government, included visits to various facilities and highlighted the need for increased training and more radiation protection officers at nuclear sites. IAEA representatives acknowledged Kenya's progress in regulatory frameworks and quality management but recommended the establishment of a National Dose Registry and better coordination among regulatory bodies. This mission marks Kenya's ongoing commitment to enhancing radiation safety in its nuclear sector.
