Did you know that #nuclear energy generates around a quarter of the world’s low-carbon electricity?⠀
When compared with other sources of electricity from cradle to grave, nuclear energy has the lowest carbon footprint, uses fewer materials and takes up less land. For example, solar power needs more than 17 times as much material and 46 times as much land to produce one unit of energy.
As the world increasingly seeks secure, low-carbon sources of energy, nuclear power will continue playing a key role in the world’s energy mix.⠀
In its role as a Rays of Hope Anchor Centre, Japan hosted an @IAEAorg regional workshop last week for radiation oncologists and medical physicists from 21 countries on advanced brachytherapy for gynaecological cancer treatment at @Ganken_hosp.

Training the next generation of experts in #NuclearSecurity!
Nineteen fellows of the IAEA Marie Sklodowska-Curie Programme are attending the @iaeaorg International School on Nuclear Security.
This year’s edition of the two-week school is hosted in #Japan 🇯🇵 and combines lectures with exercises, group activities and technical visits.
“Over the years, the IAEA has intensified its efforts to increase the sustainability of the workforce supporting nuclear security. The school is designed to provide fundamental knowledge and a comprehensive overview of key technical areas, including international legal framework, physical protection, transport security, detection, response and information and computer security,” said Elena Buglova, Director of the IAEA’s Division of Nuclear Security in her video message addressing the participants.
Since the launch of the IAEA Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship Programme in 2020, about 230 fellows have participated in the IAEA’s nuclear security schools.

Thando was so unprofessional and undermining her guest's intelligence. Powerful of Nonhle to call her out. People who attempt to downplay other people's achievements!
Nonhle is an entire trailblazer who comes from a legend parent.

🧪 Better diagnostics, healthier animals.
At @IAEAorg's Seibersdorf labs, veterinary scientists receive training to improve the accuracy of molecular diagnostic tests, strengthening disease detection & global animal health surveillance.
🐾 Supporting faster disease response.
Across Africa, scientists are turning data into action to protect vital water resources.
With @IAEAorg support, experts have analysed 20,000+ water samples using nuclear techniques, and the results are already shaping national water management plans.

Delighted to give opening statement at DU-BRAINS AI Conference 2026, convened by @DaystarUni under the theme, "Building Responsible Artificial Intelligence for Inclusive Networked Societies."
As a country 🇰🇪 we are moving from discussion to discovery, from research to application, and from prototypes to products that improve lives.
We must build Al systems that recognise our crops, understand our diseases, speak Kiswahili and other African languages, support our teachers, empower our enterprises and respond to the realities of our communities. The future of Africa must not simply be coded for us. It must be coded with us and increasingly coded by us. @_AfricanUnion Producing more from less for more.
Kenya & Africa in general must avoid outsourcing intelligence but develop capabilities across the entire Al value chain-from data and computing infrastructure to research, intellectual property, deployment and commercialisation.
#Al can improve productivity, expand access to knowledge and save lives. But it can also reproduce discrimination, violate privacy, spread misinformation, undermine democratic processes and displace workers. Responsible Al must therefore be grounded in human rights, fairness, transparency, security, accountability and meaningful human oversight.
I commend @DaystarUni under the leadership of Prof. @ayiro_p
for bringing together researchers, innovators, policymakers, industry, students and ethical leaders to address one of the defining questions of our generation: How do we harness artificial intelligence to expand human opportunity without diminishing human dignity?
We must not merely participate in the #Al revolution. Kenya and Africa must help lead it-responsibly, inclusively, ethically and boldly. This is a game changer. @nacosti@nrfkenya@Diaspora_KE@KENIAupdates@PSCKenya@TWASnews@AASciences@OfficePCS_KE@MusaliaMudavadi

The IAEA's International Conference on Topical Issues in Nuclear Installation Safety (TIC2026) is officially underway, bringing together the world's top nuclear safety experts.
Under the theme ‘Learning from the Past to Accelerate the Future’, TIC2026 focuses on reflecting on past nuclear projects to build an even safer, smarter future for nuclear technology.
Since 1998, the TIC conference series has provided a platform for the global nuclear community to share experiences, tackle challenges, and strengthen safety standards worldwide.

An excellent exchange with Prime Minister @takaichi_sanae in Tokyo on the growing role of nuclear energy in supporting energy security and economic development, Japan’s interest in fusion, progress in the long-term work at Fukushima Daiichi NPS, as well as developments in Iran and the DPRK.
I also thanked Prime Minister Takaichi for 🇯🇵’s steadfast support for the @IAEAorg and its mission around the world, and for our close cooperation across a wide range of priorities.
Important to meet with members of the Energy Policy Committee and other Japanese business leaders at @KeizaiDoyukai in Tokyo 🇯🇵.
Nuclear energy is attracting renewed attention around the world. We reflected on Japan’s evolving energy policy, the growing role of advanced reactors, and how AI can support both rising electricity demand and the safe, efficient deployment of nuclear power.
The @IAEAorg will continue supporting countries as they pursue their nuclear energy ambitions safely and securely.
