Eisenhower delivered his famous “Atoms for Peace” speech to the United Nations General Assembly in which he outlined his vision for shifting the use of nuclear energy from war to activities that benefit mankind. Approximately 10 years later, our country Zambia as we know it today was born and indeed over the last 50 years, Zambia has steadfastly cherished Eisenhower’s principle and the use of Ionising Radiation in Zambia for beneficial activities has steadily increased. The number of sectors and institutions employing Ionising Radiation for the benefit of Zambians has expanded to include those in the Health, Manufacturing, Mining, Agriculture, and Research and Training sectors.[/fusion_text][fusion_button target=”_self” color=”custom” linear_angle=”180″ stretch=”default” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” hover_transition=”none” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” link=”https://rpa.gov.zm/about/” button_gradient_top_color=”var(–awb-color2)” button_gradient_bottom_color=”var(–awb-color3)” accent_color=”var(–awb-color8)” border_color=”var(–awb-color3)”]About RPA[/fusion_button][/fusion_builder_column_inner][fusion_builder_column_inner type=”auto” type=”auto” layout=”auto” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” gradient_start_position=”0″ gradient_end_position=”100″ gradient_type=”linear” radial_direction=”center center” linear_angle=”180″ background_position=”center center” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_blend_mode=”none” border_position=”all” border_style=”solid” box_shadow=”no” box_shadow_blur=”0″ box_shadow_spread=”0″ type_medium=”1_2″ margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” spacing=”4%” spacing_left=”0px” spacing_right=”0px” padding_top=”0px” padding_right=”0px” padding_bottom=”58px” padding_left=”0px” padding_top_small=”100px” padding_bottom_small=”100px” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”top-into-view” target=”_self” hover_type=”none” center_content=”no” filter_hue=”0″ filter_saturation=”100″ filter_brightness=”100″ filter_contrast=”100″ filter_invert=”0″ filter_sepia=”0″ filter_opacity=”100″ filter_blur=”0″ filter_hue_hover=”0″ filter_saturation_hover=”100″ filter_brightness_hover=”100″ filter_contrast_hover=”100″ filter_invert_hover=”0″ filter_sepia_hover=”0″ filter_opacity_hover=”100″ filter_blur_hover=”0″ align_self=”center” order_medium=”0″ order_small=”0″ align_content=”center” valign_content=”center” content_wrap=”wrap” content_layout=”row” background_type=”image” filter_type=”regular” element_content=”” last=”true” first=”false” min_height=”” link=””][fusion_imageframe aspect_ratio=”custom” custom_aspect_ratio=”122″ aspect_ratio_position=”62% 35%” lightbox=”no” linktarget=”_self” align_medium=”none” align_small=”none” align=”none” hover_type=”none” magnify_duration=”120″ scroll_height=”100″ scroll_speed=”1″ caption_style=”off” caption_align_medium=”none” caption_align_small=”none” caption_align=”none” caption_title_tag=”2″ animation_direction=”right” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_delay=”0″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” filter_hue=”0″ filter_saturation=”100″ filter_brightness=”100″ filter_contrast=”100″ filter_invert=”0″ filter_sepia=”0″ filter_opacity=”100″ filter_blur=”0″ filter_hue_hover=”0″ filter_saturation_hover=”100″ filter_brightness_hover=”100″ filter_contrast_hover=”100″ filter_invert_hover=”0″ filter_sepia_hover=”0″ filter_opacity_hover=”100″ filter_blur_hover=”0″ image_id=”1416|medium” bordersize=”0″ animation_type=”fade” margin_bottom=”-50″]https://rpa.gov.zm/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-17-at-13.49.07-240×300.jpeg[/fusion_imageframe][/fusion_builder_column_inner][/fusion_builder_row_inner][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
