constant power supply will still not be guaranteed if not managed properly |

Why uranium? Why not generate electricity through windmills cos we have abundant of it. I even suggest generating electricity from industrial waste. The temptation to acquire nuclear weapons might creep in. Even the use of fossil fuel too might not be a bad idea. 2 Likes |

Solar and wind is much better and safer especially wind turbines, most of Germany's electricity are from renewable energy mostly wind turbines, they generated much electricity that it got to a time dis year the demand was less than the supply to the extent that germany had to pay its citizens to consume electricity, i dont knw y d government has shown no interest in investing in renewable energy 1 Like 1 Share |

lol...we can successfully term Nigeria a waste land if that is built in Nigeria...pls if at all they want to build they should carry it to the north and south the weather there is very favorable for reactors...!!!

Majority of the people commenting here really have shallow knowledge on the issue of Uranium and Nuclear power. Yes they should bring it to the North, Like who would site such a project in the South anyway. 2 Likes |

Okay. Hope the pros and cons of this uranium energy has been considered enough by the government before sticking their neck on this development. 1 Like |

Nuclear energy is the best and cheapest source of energy, the problem is the risk associated with it. also, if placed in wrong hands, it can be used for nuclear weapon. but i dont think Nigeria is ready yet for it due to the following reasons, 1. Its very expensive to establish 2. where do we situate the plants due to risks associated with it 3. how do we link the generated energy to the existing hydro plants 4. with our political and security instabilities, how do we ensure a group will not rise tomorrow and threaten the whole nation to blow up the plants, the effects of nuclear weapon is catastrophic, hiroshima and nagasaki havnt recovered from 1945 bombings, 70years after 5. we dont have enough scientists to maintain it, as it was evident in power sector, you cant depend on foreigners to maintain it because they benefits from its malfunctioning. If government can successfully handle the problems stated, then we are good to go 2 Likes 1 Share |

our government officials are fools. some countries that are far more careful than us are shutting down their nuclear plants and are looking for dumping grounds. Africa is a refuse bin. |

Anybody that studied chemistry related courses will never be in support of a nuclear power plant in Nigeria. Nuclear radiation is violent and hardly has cure. Nigeria lacks everything needed to manage nuclear elements or generate power from it. Not only government are careless in this country, with the likes of BH and ND avengers on the loose, NPP can be a significant target for terrorism. 1 Like |

mrphysics:Half of my Engineering Physics degree was spent studying Nuclear Engineering and materials science. I now currently work in the electrical engineering industry. Most of the countries listed above are already trying to get rid of their nuclear generating station for sustainable means of generating electricity. Money that would be spent on research purposes for nuclear source of power should instead be spent on making sustainable energy more efficient. The cooperation i currently work for has a mix of hydro, wind, heat recovery from biomass, solar and coal. Coal being the source with the largest input, but most of the research at my work place is focused on making coal cleaner as it's still the cheapest source of generating power. I heard Enugu has a large coal deposit. Nigeria should make use of that, and focus some research on making coal cleaner. There are lots of Nigerian born stationary/steam engineers in North america that would relocate to Nigeria if the country embraces coal. 5 Likes 2 Shares
