We must balance progress and responsibility in nuclear dream

Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA) Director for Partnerships and Public Awareness Edward Mayaka. [File, Standard]

Kenya stands at a critical juncture in its pursuit of sustainable development, with nuclear energy emerging as a potential cornerstone of its future energy landscape. As the nation aspires to achieve the ambitious goals outlined in Vision 2030, including its transformation into a middle-income economy, the prospect of nuclear power represents more than just a shift in energy policy.

It could be a catalyst for widespread change, promising to revolutionise the energy sector while simultaneously propelling long-term economic growth, fostering social equity, and bolstering environmental protection. Globally recognised for its ability to provide stable, low-carbon electricity, nuclear energy presents a compelling solution for Kenya's growing power needs. As the nation grapples with escalating energy demands, nuclear power offers a viable path to meet these requirements while significantly reducing carbon emissions.

By incorporating nuclear energy into its power portfolio, Kenya could make substantial strides toward its ambitious goal of sustaining a 10 per cent annual economic growth rate over the next quarter-century. A robust and diverse energy sector is fundamental to driving the flagship projects and programmes in Vision 2030. Nuclear power, characterised by its high energy output and reliability, could serve as a cornerstone in energising these initiatives.

This, in turn, would help forge a globally competitive and prosperous nation, elevating the quality of life for its citizens. The integration of nuclear energy thus represents not just a shift in power generation, but a potential catalyst for comprehensive national development. As Kenya contemplates the integration of nuclear energy into its power portfolio, it is crucial to embrace and implement the fundamental principles of nuclear law. These principles form the bedrock of a safe, secure, and sustainable nuclear programme.

Safety is paramount in the use of nuclear energy. National laws, international instruments, and regulatory documents emphasise the need for stringent safety measures to protect people and the environment. Then there’s security: The security of nuclear materials and technologies is critical to prevent their diversion to non-peaceful uses. Lost or abandoned radiation sources pose significant risks, necessitating robust security measures. It’s also important to look at sustainable development. Nuclear materials can pose long-term health, safety, and environmental risks. Therefore, it is essential to implement measures that protect current and future generations.

Another factor is transparency. The cornerstone of public trust in nuclear technology lies in providing comprehensive, accessible information about both its risks and benefits. This principle is particularly crucial in Kenya, where the 2010 Constitution has set high standards for transparency and public participation. Open dialogue and clear communication are essential to foster understanding, address concerns, and build confidence among citizens as the nation considers this significant shift in its energy landscape.

Few subjects attract as much global attention as nuclear energy, due to concerns over nuclear weapons proliferation and the potential for transboundary radiological contamination. Given these international implications, robust cooperation across borders is not merely beneficial—it's crucial for the successful and responsible adoption of nuclear technology.

Kenya's journey toward nuclear energy necessitates active engagement with the global community, sharing best practices, adhering to international safeguards, and participating in collaborative efforts to ensure safety and security on a global scale. Overall, promoting a robust safety culture is critical for the successful implementation of a nuclear power program. This includes leadership commitment, employee empowerment, and continuous learning. Regular training programs on safety procedures and technologies, along with considerations of human factors such as ergonomics and stress management, are essential to prevent human errors.

The adoption of nuclear energy in Kenya represents a long-term and complex programme requiring consistent commitment and robust safeguards. While nuclear energy offers a promising solution to the country's energy challenges, it is imperative to balance energy needs with environmental protection and public trust.

Mr. Mayaka is Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority’s Director of Partnerships and Public Awareness
