The both of you are so dumb beyond imagination. You argue like fools on something you most definitely know little or nothing about.

If I ask any of you to tell me what you know about nuçlear energy, I'm sure you'd stutter like the fo*ols you both are.

They shouldn't have to break your heads before you comprehend the simple fact that Nigeria is too ill-advanced, ill-equipped, ill-disciplined to hand anything nuclear. The international community will not even let that happen as the cleanup responsibility will fall on them when the disaster definitely strikes.

Nuclear energy is not for crawling countries, dumbos, get it into your heads.

arresa: [s][/s]


The fact that you feel incompetent because you've been bastardized for so many decades by useless and incompetent people with no sense of duty and obligation or any form of patriotic spirit doesn't mean the rest of us willing and able to move ahead and leave you behind are like you and we shouldn't move ahead and progress.


Keep your self defeatist and can not do spirit to yourself...

arresa:

State repair crews maintain roads that hundreds of thousand of cars and trucks go back and forth on all day and scientists, engineers and the technical partners maintain Nuclear plants and last time I check, cars and trucks don't go up and down inside nuclear power..

arresa:

Nuclear power plants are all about monitoring and they have safety features and measures supervised by IAEA to deal with Waste.

arresa:
You are too old for this shameful and ignorant nonsense..

Jmain:

Damn !! Dude is impossibly very silly , what has commuting got to do with a government who is dedicated in maintaining an infrastructure she spent billions on . . .




Dolt, even the advanced countries like Japan, Switzerland and Germany have set strategic deadlines to move away from Nuclear sources of energy because of the accruable headache that accompanies it

Yet, you feel Nigeria with a malnourished culture of maintenance is in her right frame of mind to adopt such a risky means when we have gas and coal wasting away . . . .



If you were not old enough, you won't be having this discussion even though you sound so irresponsible in your moronity

The "too old" jab is getting stale by the day . . . .

Tolexander: Chernobyl

ROSSIKE:

And you are literate?

arresa:

STFU with the silly and thoughtless rubbish.

arresa:


Entities all over the world make decisions based on their own internal, political situations and needs so what'a Japan and the other countries you ignorantly mentioned got to do with Lagos state and their situation and needs?

arresa:

Ode, because Garri gives you heart burn means I should stop eating Garri right?

arresa:

There are 60 reactors under construction in 13 countries from the USA to Russian and Asia as we speak...

arresa:

For a sad and pathetic change, you are outdoing your already low and despicable shallow level..

What a dullard you are...

Jmain:



Those countries I referenced are heavens above Lagos State in terms of technological know how and experience.

Your so called technical partners maybe from those referenced countries .

poiZon:






are u serious?
adonbilivit.

arresa:


The countries you referenced are better than Lagos and they have better High tech know how. Is this a contest or any claim was made that Lagos state is better than them?

arresa:


Your idiotic and shallow brain travel faster than your deformed typing fingers...

arresa:


The same countries you referenced according to you are better than Lagos, but in your backward, bi polar and amnesia brain, Lagos still can not manage a Nuclear power plant built and managed by the same technical partners you not only proudly praised to be technologically advanced, but also have their own well managed Nuclear reactors.

arresa:

[s]Now, how do you reconcile your thoughtless and disjointed rant? What side of your confused, mismatched and misaligned mouth do you need us to listen to?
Do you know see why you really are a damn dullard and despicable shallow ignorant clown?
Your dumb asss can not even keep up with your asinine garbage for your own good...
[/s]

arresa: [s]These clowns have been bastardized so much that they've succumbed to the fact that they can not do anything or aspire towards any goal in life. Incompetency and incompetent though is their culture and way of life... No wonder your leaders can not progress your country and move you forward.

Your crooked and corrupt PDP swindled $20 billion for the same electricity, but today, we are still in darkness with no new ideas or way forward, you are at a stand still with no light at the end of the tunnel.

Still, your only solution and way out is backward and incompetent though, it's defeating yourself even before starting anything, you've relegated yourself to failure and everlasting backwardness. You don't even wan to try anything..

What a sad shame. Thank God they don't share such loser sentiments in Lagos state[/s].

arresa: [s]I don't deal with clowns in trolling mode.

When you leave your trolling mode, garbage and landfill duties, I pay you further attention...


Till then, back to topic.[/s]..

In less than three years, we can establish it, especially when we need not do distribution, but places like the Lekki Free Zone can have the nuclear power between 15 and 24 months. No option is off the table as we move forward in our strive to solve the power challenge for the state,” the governor said.

Dr. Taofeek Oladiran Folami was born in Glasgow, Scotland on 21st August 1962. He attended Adrao International School, Victoria Island, Lagos for his nursery and primary education, and Baptist Academy, Yaba, Lagos for his secondary education before leaving for England in 1978 for further studies.

[b]Dr. Taofeek Folami obtained a BSc Honours Degree in Chemical Engineering from North East London Polytechnic in 1983, a Masters Degree in Process Analysis and Development in 1984 and a Doctorate in Chemical Engineering in 1989, both from the University of Aston in Birmingham, UK. He specialised in the application of advanced control techniques in chemical processes and his work involved modelling and simulation of chemical processes and implementation, by computer (digital) control, of advanced control techniques on a pilot scale distillation process.

On completion of his doctorate, Dr. Folami joined the Central Electricity Generating Board (CEGB) in England as a Software Analyst/Engineer. He worked in the industry till 1995, a period during which the CEGB was privatised and he was seconded to Nuclear Electric Plc., one of the 4 companies formed as a result of the privatisation. Nuclear Electric generates electricity via nuclear fission, and the company operated about 12 nuclear power stations around the UK.

On returning to Nigeria in 1995, he picked up a job with BureauFax Technologies as a Senior Consultant in Software Testing, Documentation and Research & Development and eventually became the Head of the Software Group with the responsibility for planning and co-ordinating software development strategy. BureauFax Technologies exposed him to the Nigerian banking industry since BureauFax Technologies specialises in providing IT solutions to the banking industry, particularly in the field of MICR and check processing technology.

Dr. Folami is also a consultant for Raw Material Research and Development Council (RMRDC) specifically on Process Equipment Design and Process Simulation and on Techno-Economic Survey of Raw Materials Usage and Products in the Non-Metallic Minerals Sector. He is currently the Chairman of the Governing Board of the Lagos Waste Management Authority.[/b]

Dr. Taofeek Folami is married with a son.

gentlestone: Waaaat!!!?? , Hmmm, I pity Our Country and our neighbors If by any chance the Plant enters the hands of BK boys #just thinking out loud sha

BlackTechnology:


Another trash filled comment


Nigeria that can't properly manage roads once to manage nuclear plants

OK keep it in the SW so that any mistake will ....................

Jmain:

Fool, where is your technical partner management in your municipal waste disposal ? .

The same Lagos state government that can't even create a sanitary landfill site is suddenly seeking to go Nuclear . . .

You are a full blooded ediot . . . .

If you cant effectively manage the fairly harmless municipal waste, how do you hope to handle the more deadly and toxic nuclear waste ? . .

PLEASE SPARE US THIS RUBBISH. BELOW IS A PICTURE OF MUMBAI INDIA. YET INDIA IS A NUCLEAR POWER. WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE NOW? M R INFERIORITY COMPLEX.

Mumbai, India



Calcutta, India

[size=14pt]NIMBY Protests Growing
[/size]
Rawatbhata Nuclear Power Plant in Rajasthan is situated near a major dam which makes it susceptible to flooding. Besides the villages near the plant have reported higher incidences of abortion and cancer which is typical of radiation effect on human health. A new plant being proposed in Bhavnagar, Gujarat too is seeing protests being organized by villages near the plant

The Indian Nuclear Power Industry remains shrouded in secrecy and opacity refusing to reveal details on safety. The nuclear power generation is controlled by a government entity NPCIL which remains cloaked in secrecy. Details about leakages and accidents are not forthcoming and not transparent. 2 accidents were reported in recent days but the causes of the leakage again have not been explained.

ET

But environmental watchdogs have expressed concerns about safety in India, where small-scale industrial accidents due to negligence or poor maintenance are commonplace and regulatory bodies are often under-staffed and under-funded.

[size=14pt]Accidents at nuclear power plants in India[/size]
India currently has twenty nuclear reactors in operation, and their safety record is far from clean.

[/b]Below is a list of leaks, fires and structural damages that have occurred in India’s civilian nuclear power sector. Numerous other examples of oil leaks, hydrogen leaks, fires and high bearing vibrations have often shut plants, and sometimes not (1).

As the Department of Atomic Energy is not obliged to reveal details of ongoings at these plants to the public, there may be many other accidents that we do not know about.

[b]April 2011 Fire alarms blare in the control room of the Kaiga Generating Station in Karnataka. Comments by officials alternately say there was no fire, that there was only smoke and no fire, and that the fire was not in a sensitive area (2). Details from the AERB are awaited.

November 2009 Fifty-five employees consume radioactive material after tritiated water finds its way into the drinking water cooler in Kaiga Generating Station. The NPCIL attributes the incident to “an insider’s mischief” (3).

April 2003 Six tonnes leak of heavy water at reactor II of the Narora Atomic Power Station (NAPS) in Uttar Pradesh (4), indicating safety measures have not been improved from the leak at the same reactor three years previously.

January 2003 Failure of a valve in the Kalpakkam Atomic Reprocessing Plant in Tamil Nadu results in the release of high-level waste, exposing six workers to high doses of radiation (5). The leaking area of the plant had no radiation monitors or mechanisms to detect valve failure, which may have prevented the employees’ exposure. A safety committee had previously recommended that the plant be shut down. The management blames the “over enthusiasm” of the workers (6).

May 2002 Tritiated water leaks from a downgraded heavy water storage tank at the tank farm of Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS) 1&2 into a common dyke area. An estimated 22.2 Curies of radioactivity is released into the environment (7).

November 2001 A leak of 1.4 tonnes of heavy water at the NAPS I reactor, resulting in one worker receiving an internal radiation dose of 18.49 mSv (.

April 2000 Leak of about seven tonnes of heavy water from the moderator system at NAPS Unit II. Various workers involved in the clean-up received ‘significant uptakes of tritium’, although only one had a radiation dose over the recommended annual limit (9).

March 1999 Somewhere between four and fourteen tonnes (10) of heavy water leaks from the pipes at Madras Atomic Power Station (MAPS) at Kalpakkam, Tamil Nadu, during a test process. The pipes have a history of cracks and vibration problems (11) . Forty-two people are reportedly involved in mopping up the radioactive liquid (12).

May 1994 The inner surface of the containment dome of Unit I of Kaiga Generating Station collapses (delaminates) while the plant is under construction. Approximately 130 tonnes of concrete fall from a height of nearly thirty metres (13), injuring fourteen workers. The dome had already been completed (14), forming the part of the reactor designed to prevent escape of radioactive material into the environment in the case of an accident. Fortunately, the core had not then been loaded.

February 1994 Helium gas and heavy water leak in Unit 1 of RAPS. The plant is shut down until March 1997 (15).

March 1993 Two blades of the turbine in NAPS Unit I break off, slicing through other blades and indirectly causing a raging fire, which catches onto leaked oil and spreads through the turbine building. The smoke sensors fail to detect the fire, which is only noticed once workers see the flames. It causes a blackout in the plant, including the shutdown of the secondary cooling systems, and power is not restored for seventeen hours. In the meantime, operators have to manually activate the primary shutdown system. They also climb onto the roof to open valves to slow the reactions in the core by hand (16). The incident was rated as a Level 3 on the International Nuclear Event Scale, INES.

May 1992 Tube leak causes a radioactive release of 12 Curies of radioactivity from Tarapur Atomic Power Station (17).

January 1992 Four tons of heavy water spilt at RAPS (17).

December 1991 A leak from pipelines in the vicinity of CIRUS and Dhruva research reactors at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay, Maharashtra, results in severe Cs-137 soil contamination of thousands of times the acceptable limit. Local vegetation was also found to be contaminated, though contract workers digging to the leaking pipeline were reportedly not tested for radiation exposure, despite the evidence of their high dose (18).

July 1991 A contracted labourer mistakenly paints the walls of RAPS with heavy water before applying a coat of whitewash. He also washed his paintbrush, face and hands in the deuterated and tritiated water, and has not been traced since (19).

March 1991 Heavy water leak at MAPS takes four days to clean up (20).

Jmain:

Please sheathe your worn out inferiority complex tag, simply because we raised valid concern doesn't mean we have some complex issues.

Maintaining a nuclear plant has a very high risk factor, and countries with a poor maintenance culture should dabble into any nuclear programme with extreme caution.

While you chose to use India as a reference point, you failed to also reference the safety concerns from stakeholders arising from siting of such plants . . . .

http://www.greenpeace.org/india/en/What-We-Do/Nuclear-Unsafe/Safety/Nuclear-accidents/Nuclear-accidents-in-India/Accidents-at-nuclear-power-plants/

The above are just cases that were reported, other than the general secrecy surrounding the safety quality of those nuclear plants

ROSSIKE:

Can you folks please spare us your doom laden inferiority complex. India ''cannot properly manage roads'' either and has constant power cuts, yet they are a nuclear power and haven't exploded their whole country. Pakistan is a place where you can barely live for a day due to threats of terrorism, bombs, coups, assassinations, strife and turmoil, with very poor infrastructure, yet they they have a nuclear arsenal which they haven't exploded on themselves, and have maintained for decades without problems. So get rid of your African inferiority complex.

Exjoker: Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster comes to mind. I hope the gov'ment have putin all measure to checkmate all future disaster in place. Anyway i wish Nigeria all the luck
