The nuclear power plant with Russia's Haas been in the news even before this administration.

I remember itu or ini in akwa ibom and kogi state were the proposed locations for the plants back then.

Nice one.

While Nuclear Power is more efficient, it has serious cost and environmental effect, and if not properly managed, it can be hazardous .

Am I correct?

law001:
Front page topic by the way.

Lalasticla may not consider it front page worthy.

Bobrisky & Giant lizard posts makes FP than most educative posts here.

I'll drop this comment and apologise accordingly if it hits FP tho.

Really?

Do you have a link to the news?

Quite true. However, there is no risk proof source of energy. The hydroelectric dams we use for example has caused flood in Nigeria. Even renewable source of energy has its own risk too.

Nuclear energy is totally not acceptable in Nigeria !! Though we lack adequate power supply, nuclear is not d way out. Several years ago maybe it cud have been an option, but not now in this present time. This is a time where climate change is carrying world headlines, where there is global concern and outcry for a departure from environmentally hazardous means of power generation and move onto more environmentally friendly and sustainable energy sources. We neva finish environmental cleanup for ogoni land, we wan go carry d one wey pass our power. Ogoni cleanup is estimated to last decade's, 20-30 year's (if the cleanup process is followed to the letter). The environmental and health implications wil kil us off as a country. Anybody agitating for nuclear has not sat down to think of the accompanying and associated problems connected to it. In Nigeria we have a terrible terrible terrible maintainance culture, in a nuclear environment you cannot afford to make a single mistake or cut ANY corner's because a single toxic chemical leak would b deadly to the whole environment where the plant is located. And we all kno that we all speak d common language of corruption in this country, so dere is no way d nuclear energy sector can avoid it. As a country we do not even have d medical capacity to cater to associated health implications and issues that will quadruple in number and complexity. Cancer of al types wil become an everyday thing. Even wen our president was sick,9ja no get d medical expertise to treat am, talk less of issue's related to poisonous gasses, deadly chemicals and so on. Ogoni cleanup is estimated to take decades, while issues relating to chemical contamination can be estimated to take hundreds of years to correct. Even the most technologically advanced countries are departing from nuclear power. Remember the issue of the chernobil plant in I think Japan or China (google it). Even with all their advancement their was basically nothing they cud do to help the situation once it deteriorated. Living things can't go there because of the level of harzadous radiation in the environment. Their technology allows them send robots into the area to monitor the radiation bt they can't go themselves. Nuclear power produces a lot of toxic waste and by- products which can only b disposed of through very strict methods and technologies. A lot of these technologies we do not posses. C simple niger delta where oil companies are dumping their waste any how. The implications and effects it has on the environment and inhabitants are like something out of a horror movie. Some communities who are affected were once thriving places of commerce and agriculture. Right now in some of those places u cannot grow a single plant or catch a single fish. D once fertile ground is now forever poisonous. So the implication of all this is sure death for Nigeria if we try it. Advanced countries these days are lookin and researching into naturally generated power source's, such as solar and wind and other innovative ideas. We need to go the same direction and not backwards. I think your boss was right to turn you down. I would have done d same. I think as a people we should take better care of the environment because we rely on it to take care of us also. Nigerians should STRONGLY reject this idea of nuclear energy. It wil do us no gud. Renewable, sustainable energy development is the way to go.
