Provision of radiation services and acquisition of radiation detection and measurement equipment in the country has been generally lacking dating as far back as 1995.
During the period 1995 to present, Kenya's Regulatory Authority, the Radiation Protection Board (RPB) undertook to provide personal monitoring, quality assurance, radioanalysis among others. Over the years these services have stalled due to outdated equipment most of which have broken down.
A maintenance and calibration service for nuclear equipment is an expensive issue. Staff retention has been declining over the years. However, the trend is reversing and stakeholders are taking increasingly active roles in sustainable national and regional resource and service development programmes
