Kenya Strengthens Radiation Protection of Workers with IAEA Support

An IAEA team assessing Kenya's radiation protection processes has found that the country's shift to digital radiation monitoring is optimizing worker protection. The team also recommended that Kenya could further strengthen occupational radiation protection by increasing training and appointing more radiation protection officers at nuclear facilities.

''By hosting this mission, Kenya highlights its ongoing commitment to strengthening nuclear and radiation protection, fostering a safer work environment for those requiring radiation monitoring and safety measures,'' said Jizeng Ma, Head of the IAEA Occupational Radiation Protection Unit and mission team coordinator.
