Professor S.R.D. Rosa has officially resigned from his position as the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Atomic Energy Commission. His resignation marks the latest in a series of high-profile departures from key state institutions.
Professor Rosa, a distinguished academic and nuclear scientist, served as the head of the Atomic Energy Commission for several years, playing a crucial role in overseeing Sri Lanka’s nuclear research, radiation protection policies, and the peaceful use of atomic energy.
In addition to his tenure at the Commission, he is a professor at the University of Colombo, where he has contributed extensively to the fields of physics and nuclear science. His resignation has sparked speculation regarding the leadership changes within the Commission and the future direction of the country’s atomic energy initiatives.
The government has yet to announce his replacement or provide an official statement on the reason for his departure.
