Zimbabwe is set to strengthen its national framework for radiation protection following Cabinet’s approval of the Radiation Protection (Amendment) Bill, 2026, after Tuesday’s Cabinet meeting.
Speaking to the media after the meeting, Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Dr Zhemu Soda said the amendment is meant to modernise Zimbabwe’s regulatory system for radiation protection, safety and security.
“The amendment of the Bill seeks to modernise the regulatory framework for radiation protection, safety and security in Zimbabwe,” said Minister Soda.
“The Bill also seeks to address emerging technological advancements in both ionising and non-ionising radiation; to enhance national nuclear security, to establish financial sustainability mechanisms; and to align Zimbabwe with its international commitments under the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement.”
