November 2023- The government has gone flat out in seeking foreign partners to support Kenya's nuclear sector, including the requisite regulatory functions. A third of the almost 30 countries currently considering nuclear power are in Africa, with Kenya hoping to have its first nuclear power plant in 2037. On November 10th, Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA) officials held talks with South Korean nuclear experts with a view to hammering out a cooperation agreement. The meeting discussed the regulatory aspects of Kenya's nuclear power program and how the country could benefit from South Korea's experience. The KNRA team led by board chairman Omondi Anyanga and Director General James Keter said Kenya's successful nuclear power debut would largely depend on funds, adequate regulatory controls, and the development of a workforce. Mr. Keter told the press after the meeting that Korea has supported Kenya in many ways. The team looks forward to productive engagements in many respects. There's a lot to learn from South Korea's journey with nuclear. The Director General said South Korean institutions had, in the past, trained many nuclear experts from Kenya and other African countries. Mr. Anyanga said KNRA will work closely with international partners, research agencies, academics, and the Nuclear Power and Energy Agency to prepare adequately for what he termed Kenya's nuclear take-off. The visiting delegation comprised Yunhwa Choi, the Programme Manager of Korea's Nuclear Nonproliferation Education and Research Center (KAIST), Prof. Sung Yim, KAIST Vice President, Dr Bum-Jin Chung of Kyung Hee University, who is also the President of the Korea Nuclear Society and Dr In-Cheol Lim, Vice President of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. Bum-Jin, who has previously made substantial input towards Rwanda's nuclear pursuits, said part of their interest was to understand the level Kenya had reached in building its regulatory infrastructure.
