As Kenya moves towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030 and commissioning its first nuclear power plant, a peer review mission has been launched to assess the country’s nuclear and radiation regulatory systems.

The Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) mission, led by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), brings together a team of international experts for a 10-day evaluation.
