Uganda is committed to developing the infrastructure it needs for nuclear plants, but its nuclear energy roadmap needs to be updated and completed to provide a basis for decisions on planned commercial reactors, the International Atomic Energy Agency said.

An IAEA integrated nuclear infrastructure review (INIR) team, which this week concluded an eight-day mission to the east African country, also said Uganda needs to finalise its energy policy, strengthen its plans to join international legal instruments, plan for the development of human resources for a nuclear power programme, and further analyse the preparedness of the electrical grid.
