Representatives from African countries have made a case for political goodwill in efforts to ensure safety and security in the utilisation of nuclear technology.

Participants, mainly drawn from nuclear regulatory authorities in 23 African countries, including Kenya, also called for harmonisation of laws, saying it will allow a coordinated approach in addressing safety and security challenges.
