NuPEA
The organization was formed in 2010 as the Nuclear Electricity Project Committee (NEPC) in Kenya’s Ministry of Energy. It was transformed into a parastatal under the State Corporations Act, as the Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board in November 2012. Following the enactment of Energy Act 2019, Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board (KNEB) changed its name to Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (NuPEA). This took effect from 28th March 2019. The legislation conferred an expanded mandate to the organization involving carrying out research for development and dissemination of energy technologies as well as capacity building for the entire energy sector. This is in addition to development of the Nuclear Power Programme for electricity generation in Kenya.
The organization has undertaken various activities towards the realization of Kenya’s Nuclear Power Programme. These include: a prefeasibility study, a grid study, a fifteen-year strategic plan, as well as development of a comprehensive human resource and capacity development plan. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conducted an Integrated Nuclear Infrastructure Review (INIR) Mission of Kenya’s Nuclear Power Programme in 2015.
NuPEA is currently in the process of undertaking siting studies to identify suitable locations for nuclear power plants in Kenya and developing the legislative and regulatory framework. Indeed, the Nuclear Regulatory Bill that will transform the Radiation Protection Board into the regulator is currently before Parliament. NuPEA has also facilitated training of more than two-dozen Kenyans in Nuclear Power engineering in South Korea besides undertaking stakeholder involvement, public awareness and sensitization.
Plans are also ongoing toward setting up a nuclear research reactor in Kenya to assist in training and production of medical radioisotopes for therapy of cancer and other diseases.
