Kenyan nuclear authority addresses power plant protests
Nuclear officials in Kenya want to engage with residents in Siaya County and keep them informed as the country moves toward building its first nuclear power plant.
The state-run Nuclear Power and Energy Agency said on May 23 it will conduct a “robust, transparent, and multilayered educational campaign to address all anxieties regarding safety, livelihoods, and land,” and that no infrastructure would be built without “broad, informed consent of the community.”
