| dc.description.abstract | Law and policy is often said to have no correlation with
scientific research and application, yet law is frequently utilized to
resolve not only complex social conflicts towards sustainable
economic growth, but also complex scientific disputes as well. As
Kenya considers the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes and
especially the generation of electricity, the development of a
comprehensive law and policy is indispensable. This paper discusses
the role of law and policy in the use of nuclear energy and
technology for electricity generation. It also discusses the role that
law and policy plays in developing research and development (R&D)
programmes in the area of nuclear technology. It makes
recommendations on how nuclear energy technology use for
electricity generation and research in Kenya ought to be regulated to
stimulate sustainable development, and the role that engineers can
play in this regard. The status of Kenya’s law with respect to
nuclear energy is also discussed. | en_US |
