Audio By VocalizePresident William Ruto speaking during the International Conference on Nuclear Energy at KICC. [PCS]President William Ruto has assured the public that nuclear energy is safe and does not pose any dangers that many fear. “There is a perception that nuclear energy poses a significant danger to human well-being. He noted that nuclear energy has been safely and reliably used for decades in the world’s most advanced economies, such as France, which has relied on nuclear energy since the 1970s, with up to 70 per cent of its electricity coming from nuclear power. Diversifying the energy mix with nuclear power reduces reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets, enhancing energy security and strengthening national resilience.
