PS Shaukat calls for stronger nuclear regulatory systems

In a significant move, Pakistan's Minister of State for Overseas Pakistanis, Zulfi Bukhari, who is also the Prime Minister's Special Assistant on Overseas Pakistanis, has urged African regulators to strengthen their oversight, cooperation, and capacity building in the nuclear sector. This call for enhanced regulatory systems comes amid growing concerns over nuclear safety and security in Africa. The emphasis on stronger regulatory systems is seen as a crucial step towards mitigating the risks associated with nuclear power plants and ensuring that the benefits of nuclear energy are realized without compromising the safety and security of the region. The move is also expected to promote international cooperation and knowledge sharing in the nuclear sector, ultimately contributing to the development of a robust and secure nuclear regulatory framework in Africa.
