Prof Lazaro Busagara, the director general of the Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (Taec) revealed that scores of staff members of the Commission were currently being trained to operate the lab.
The first phase was completed and officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa in April, 2018. Construction of the second phase began in September 2019 and was undertaken by Chinese Li Jun Development Construction Company. It includes ten mini labs for radiology; Alpha, Beta and Gamma rays, Cytogenetic laboratory and XRF lab. There are also laboratories that will handle instrumentation and maintenance, radiochemistry and radioactive wastes conditioning.
This is viewed as the most modern laboratory of its kind in Africa complying with internationally agreed legal and security requirements on nuclear energy equipment.
