Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC)

The Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC) was established by the Atomic Energy Act No. 7 of 2003 as the successor to the National Radiation Commission. As a key government institution, TAEC is mandated to protect the public, workers, and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The commission plays a vital role in national development by regulating nuclear activities and facilitating the beneficial use of nuclear science in sectors such as medicine, industry, and research while ensuring compliance with international safety and security standards.
