Russia Signs Agreement With Nigeria to Build Nuclear Power Plant

By Paul Burkhardt

Bloomberg

Russia has signed agreements with Nigeria to build and operate a nuclear power plant in the oil-rich West African nation that has a deficit of reliable power and faces security challenges by Islamist militants in the far northeast.

Feasibility studies for the plant and a research center construction will include site screening, capacity, financing, and time frames of the projects, state-owned Russian nuclear company Rosatom said in an emailed statement.

The nations in 2009 signed an intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the field of the peaceful usage of nuclear technologies. Nigeria in 2015 was in talks with Rosatom to build as many as four nuclear power plants costing about $20 billion, the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission said at the time.

Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation, distributes an average of 4,500 megawatts of electricity. Half the output of the Egbin power plant, the nation’s biggest, is lost because of inadequate transmission infrastructure, its chief officer said last month.

Rosatom is seeking to build nuclear power plants in other countries on the continent including South Africa.

Interesting they finally got this deal done. I've been hearing talks for years. Now who wants it in their state? I remember they wanted to site it in Akwa Ibom but it was resisted. Nuclear power statistically is safest form of power if you are diligent about maintenance. Next we don't have natural disasters. They only issue is Nigerian factor.

What I would like to see is a study on feasibility of thorium salt reactor. I read its safer than uranium reactor and can't be used to make nuclear bombs.

Nuclear plants are dangerous investments! Even a minor accident in these plants can destroy a whole geopolitical zone, with cancer-causing radioactive toxins!

Google Chernobil nuclear disaster. The people of Chernobil that survived cannot live in their region for at least the next 100 years!

Misplaced priority! undecided What do Nigeria needs a nuclear plant/armament for when we can even manage the conventional but archaic weaponry at our disposal?
Where will Nigeria get money from to fund such a monumental project from considering the chronic borrowing nature of the Buhari's government?
He is busy wasting our resources prospecting for oil that no more have value in the world market in the northern region with associated wastage of precious lives by BH then now this. undecided

The problem with you is that
you are not a realist rather you bbelieve everything you read.


I don't pray any Southern state should agreee on hosting the nuclear reactor rather it should be sited in Daura since a train station is coming there and also it's close proximity to Niger Republic that has the raw material which is Uranium.

Since Oyo is bigger than the SE then it should be sited there because nuclear plant needs a large landmass which the SE doesn't have rather Oyo state has in abundance

Man your mention is dumb. The issue with people like you is that you guys cling to petty emotions rather than scientific research. You don't understand science behind nuclear power nor do you comprehend my comments. Did I say we should use uranium? Did you not see me mention thorium salt reactors or do you not know there's a difference?

Shut up with that nonsense. Debunk my thorium salt reactor claim or fall on your sword. How is science white man theories? What a daft statement. You typed this lame retort because you don't have any proof to back your claims pathetic.

Is that why they want to build more? Lol cool story.
