Dr. Mohammad Tanha, former head of Afghanistan’s Atomic Energy High Authority under the republic, has been appointed as Director of Technical Guidance at Germany’s national nuclear energy agency.
Sources close to Tanha confirmed the news, while many on social media criticized the Taliban regime for driving away Afghanistan’s scientific talent, forcing them to serve other nations.
Dr. Tanha earned his PhD in Nuclear Radiation Physics from Hanover University in Germany. His doctoral research focused on measuring uranium, thorium, potassium, and radon levels in rocks, water, soil, and air around Kabul.
