Hmmmm, nuclear energy no be beans. Do you think these Nigerian politicians can embark on this?? The oyibos will milk us dry. I think its just talk sha. |

In the event of any natural disaster, such as flooding, nuclear reactors can become huge danger due to leakages. Nuclear waste is also a big challenge. I still remember the case of the italian company that came to koko to dump nuclear waste. Thank God it was detected on time before the sealed drums started leaking. Even at that, a clean up was carried out |

As all d military facilities don dey North.. Na SE get this zoning, no doubt I trust abokis.. Na from there dem go dey generate their power On a more serious note, I think we should look into other means not Nuclear, too much energy involved plus great danger if not managed properly.. We've seen how poor we are in handling ordinary gas plants talkless Nuclear. The waste from those plants lasts for like a lifetime (concept of half-life in radioactivity). I don't support it. Nigeria isn't ready for such yet 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nuclear energy in a volatile country like Nigeria? Oh no you don't mean it. Heard of Chernobyl? Or Fukushima? Or Nagasaki? Or Hiroshima? Don't worry una go hear of KADUNAma, LAGOSima and SAMBISAki. I dey come ooo! Make I go for black market go buy gas and oyel for my private jet 2 Likes

Nuclear in this era of Bokoharam, hmmm. This plant should be cited in a very safe place. If possible cited in the 3 major regions. |

Electricity from Nuclear Energy is quite cheap and clean, but the risks involved are pretty much. Add the peculiar nature of Nigeria, it is an absolute no go area for me. I still think our best shot in solving our power issues is in our huge coal reserves. Gas has not done it for us. Militancy and pipe line vandalism isn't going away any time soon. I know some people will say coal is not clean and all the other global warming issues. That should not deter us at all. We should not allow that to hinder us from growing our economy. US, China and other nations that emit the most green house gases are not doing as much as they are preaching to reduce the gas emissions. When we are developed, we can join the clamour to reduce emission of green house gases and solve the climate change issues. Coal remains the easiest and fastest way for us to solve our energy challenge. 3 Likes |

Thnks Mr physics for the insight,,,for a long time now i've Alyz wished our country never gets to the point where we need to consider nuclear energy as a source of power generation,,considering the disadvantage and the harm which can be caused by uranium,,there was a certain time when this issue was discussed and it was kicked against by people who were knowledgeable about the disadvantages,,i think we should give our voices and so no to nuclear power generation,,as it's disadvantages out weighs it's advantages,, 1 Like |

in a country that has so many security challanges, ranging from millitancy to terrorism, shouldnt think of venturing into an hazardous source of generatin electricity as this. we all knw how porous and naive our security men are.

mrphysics: Can you see only South Africa (black nation) is into it. We have low maintenance culture Just roads, apartments, streetlights w can't maintain. Even the so called private firm fail in it. GSM company will not fix their mast for days -weeks when a fault arises. Remember We have not even clean the oil spillage in Niger Delta When we get to that level we can use even "hydrogen energy," but for now.... noooo 2 Likes 1 Share |

@OP Good research.. -Nuclear plant needs water to cool off so those in the riverine areas should start thinking.... -Their would be a radioactive leak around the plant so the hosting state should start thinking...... -Disposing radioactive waste is now a global challenge which in recent times was done illegally by some so called developed nations..... -The difference between nuclear energy and nuclear bomb is just how the fission is tempered...... - - - The world is now a global village and international communities always monitor activities of any nuclear plant around the world so safety is always guarantee... -To generate power with alternative energy sources is more expensive hence if you want to power Lagos with solar energy, you will need up to half of Lagos by land to install your panels.... -I personally still support Nuclear energy to generate electricity than any other energy sources..... -Sensitive parts of any nuclear plant are always handle by professionals..... -There would be training and retraining of personnel.... -Industries and investors will flood Nigeria.... -Nigeria will be rich... -Nigeria will be great again.... -If it's not working, there are companies that specializes in shutting down, decommissioning and destroying nuclear plants around the world.... -It's better we give it a trial... 1 Like |

mrphysics:My brother, we have 3 refineries yet none of them is remotely efficient. We have the longest river in west Africa, plenty other rivers and lots of natural gas yet we can't produce 5000 mw of electricity. The truth is that most things in Nigeria are not working. Trying to start nuclear energy generation will be a great disaster. Charity begins at home.. let us efficiently manage other forms of power available before we start looking nuclear. Note that the countries involved in nuclear energy are very few and its major users are super nations. The only African nation there is south Africa and they are not a regular African country. They even produce about 40,000 mw. Do you think that the other African countries are stupid? Any call for Nuclear power at this time is suicidal! 2 Likes 1 Share |

princey83: kmega08: You guys should use your brains(no insult intended).... coal has been there for centuries and it has been ignored.. Nigeria is mostly controlled and governed by people that hate southerners and don't want to see them succeed.. If the coal was in the north, do you think it would be ignored.... the igbos or other southerners are the only ones that can come together and build the coal sector and power Nigeria. Nigeria would never invest in Coal as long as it is controlled mostly by those people, Its the same reason why the Oil refineries are not working... but the illiterates in the south keep calling "FG, FG, FG" for help like they think the people that hate them want to help them. the SW is seriously compromising itself... that's why dangote is building a refinery there.. a refinery is one of the quickest ways to destroy the environment and economy of a place.... so its a "win win" fot the people that hate southerners... too bad the SW politics is mostly controlled by a religious bigot. Nigerians need to accept the truth... Tribalism is a serious problem... |

why can't mr physics tell us how to shut down a Nuclear POwer plant. Instead of claiming I too know! Where are you going to get the cooling water and where will you discharge it. The west especially Russia/France are fast running out of where to dump their barbaric technology. Pls don't say presidio can't do this ohh remember he is old school and that maybe the reason they put him there cos I have heard too much about nuclear recently. Talking about govt responsibility they have Transmission network to manage there is so much work there. Why not leave Generation to business men. |
