Globally recognised for its ability to provide stable, low-carbon electricity, nuclear energy presents a compelling solution for Kenya's growing power needs. Nuclear power, characterised by its high energy output and reliability, could serve as a cornerstone in energising these initiatives. Few subjects attract as much global attention as nuclear energy, due to concerns over nuclear weapons proliferation and the potential for transboundary radiological contamination. Overall, promoting a robust safety culture is critical for the successful implementation of a nuclear power program. 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.
