National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Acting Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Kasia Mendelsohn met virtually with the Sudanese Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Authority on Thursday to discuss Sudan’s efforts to effectively and safely regulate that country’s use of nuclear technology for medicine and human health; scientific research and education; agricultural, environmental, and industrial applications; and energy.
The meeting comes after the NNSA consulted with Sudan in 2019 over the importance of international nuclear safeguards. While Sudan does not have a nuclear power program, it does use radioactive and nuclear materials in its medical, agricultural, environmental, and industrial sectors. Additionally, the country plans to pursue nuclear energy in its energy sector in the future once a capable regulatory body is formed.
