NATIONAL ENERGY FOCUS
Economic
To maintain a sustained
economic growth of 10%
p.a. over the next 25
years
Social
A just and cohesive society
enjoying equitable social
development in a clean and
secure environment
Political
An issue-based, people-
centered, result-oriented, and
accountable democratic
political system
Kenya Vision 2030
A globally competitive and prosperous
nation with a high quality of life by 2030
Key Enabler:
A vibrant power sector that meets electricity required to drive flagship projects and
programmes
A sustained economic growth of
10% per annum from year 2015
I came up with four responses to your concerns. I call them the Big Four: food security, affordable housing, manufacturing, and affordable healthcare for all.

KENYA’S NUCLEAR POWER PROGRAMME ROADMAP
KENYA NUCLEAR POWER PROGRAMME
1.The National Economic and Social
Council (NESC), recommended in
April 2010 adoption of nuclear power programme as a national priority.
2. Nuclear power
incorporated in the country’s
energy blueprint
3. A NEPIO, NEPC was
established in 2010 and elevated
to KNEB
4. KNEB carried out PFS
and other preliminary
technical studies
5. Energy Act 2019, Establishes Nuclear Power
and Energy Agency
Mandate is to oversee the implementation of
Nuclear Power Programme and Coordinate
Energy R&D Issues.
Why Nuclear?
Additional increase in electricity demand from
Kenya Vision 2030 flagship projects
Diversification of power generation
sources for efficient supply
Reliable and adequate supply of electricity at
reasonable prices
National and Economic Social Council in 2010 recommended inclusion of nuclear power in the
country’ energy mix
Milestones in the Development of a National Infrastructure for Nuclear Power (NG-G-3.1)
10 – 15 years
NuPEA Included: 1. Research and Development .
2. Nuclear Knowledge Management
3. External and Internal Environment

St udy Report
Ministry of Energy & Petroleum
Ongoing Activities (1)
Human Resource Development Strategy - IAEA Review Mission conducted
Stakeholder education and engagement (revision of stakeholder engagement strategy being undertaken)
Stepped up engagement of Members of Parliament to build capacity and provide relevant information before tabling of nuclear regulatory bill in Parliament
Ongoing Activities (2)
Development of NPP Site Characterization Terms of References (ToRs) and later – Site Characterization
National survey for NPP Industrial Involvement and development of national policy on industrial involvement for the nuclear power programme
Follow up INIR Mission (February 2020)
Reactor Technology Assessment both for the Large NPP and the SMR.
Ongoing Activities (3)
Human Resource Survey
• Funding requirement study and development of financing plan
• Implementation of infrastructure for nuclear safety, safeguards and security
• Enhance radiation protection infrastructure
• Develop a strategy for nuclear knowledge management
Legal and Regulatory Framework
NuPEA established an Inter-Ministerial Working Group mandated to the development
of a comprehensive legal and regulatory framework for the NPP
Draft National Nuclear Regulatory Bill 2018 has been developed.
The draft Bill has been reviewed by IAEA legal experts
The Bill has been approved by the Cabinet and is at the National Assembly for
Enactment
Ascension of International Treaties (The plans are ongoing )
Convention on Nuclear Safety (the CNS) ;
The Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident (the Early
Notification Convention) ;
The Convention on Assistance in the Case of a Nuclear Accident or
Radiological Emergency (the Assistance Convention); and
Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of
Radioactive Waste Management, 1997 (the Joint Convention).
CONCLUSION
• Kenya’s NPP has been on a positive progression due to strong
Government support for the programme;
• The Agency is working in collaboration with all National stakeholders
to ensure full implementation of the programme safely and securely;
• The role of international and regional collaborations is key to the
successful implementation of the Nuclear Power Programme
• The benefits of nuclear power are expected to transform the Kenyan
economy, enabling the realization of the Vision 2030.
• I do welcome peer reviews, exchange programmes and collaborations for
mutual benefit of organizations and countries
