Ghana's nuclear development is fac­ing a jolt as a result of high attrition rate at the Nuclear Regulatory Author­ity (NRA), the Director-General (D-G) of the Authority, Dr Nii Kwashie Allotey has said.

In 2022 alone, a total of 17 staff members resigned from the Authority, reducing the staff level from 95 to 78, he added.

Consequently, the D-G has appealed to the govern­ment to help address that situation as it continues to mil­itate against the country's nuclear development agenda.

Dr Allotey said the Authority, in the last few years, had suffered serious attrition rate as some of its experi­enced staff members have left to seek greener pastures elsewhere.
