By Aaron Humes: The Cabinet has approved the establishment of an Office of Radiation Safety and Security within the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Climate Change, and Solid Waste Management.
This is in fulfilment of its obligation as a partner of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Belize, in 2020, enacted the Radiation Safety and Security Act, which mandates that an office be created to address issues related to radiation safety and security.
The office is expected to have regulatory oversight of all activities involving ionizing radiation. It will also develop and implement a comprehensive safeguard agreement with the IAEA to ensure all nuclear material within Belize is used strictly for peaceful purposes and will control the import and export of sources, manage source inventories, and oversee the disposal of disused sources.
