Zim’s disused radioactive material facility nearing completion

THE construction of a disused radioactive material facility to house radioactive materials is nearing completion north of Harare, the Radiation Authority of Zimbabwe (RPAZ) has said.

Radioactive materials give off a form of energy that travels in waves or particles and can contaminate the environment including humans.

Speaking during a site tour in Hatcliffe, Harare on Wednesday, RPAZ chief executive officer Justice Chipuru said the facility which is being funded by the Government of Zimbabwe through Treasury is expected to be completed in May this year.
