Dummy, Is NigerSat 2 not in space right now? Has it not been there for over 7 years? Olodo.

Blue3k:


Accident per KW of energy generated. Did you read link or just didn't understand what you read? You don't need to build calculate that statistics. Even the medicine you consume isn't even tested on 100,000 people before it's deemed safe for humans.

omoelerin1:
This govt. is about to compensate the victims of civil war with 88 billion naira, we Easterners did not reject

Blue3k:


Grow sense or shut up. What did I say that's incorrect? It's like saying countries are looking for alternatives to oil but are still building refineries in twour years time. Read the link instead of joining gang replying daft mentions.

Japan, France, Russia, Solvekia all have some under construction. All the ppants under construction are supposrd to come online in less than 5 years. USA has plans for some.

igbodefender:


Are you comparing US maintenance culture with Nigeria's. You have your head in the clouds and need to face reality sometimes.

Blue3k:
They only issue is Nigerian factor. I have zero confidence in federal government managing the plant. 

Blue3k:


Ann other dumb mention you should have just shut up. I said exact opposite.

nnokwa042:
so we Igbo's should dance makosa abi? Do u know how much that evil man mapped out for north? About 3 trillion what is fucking 88 billion

aribisala0:


No one is saying nuclear is safe or unsafe these things are relative. The issue is your talk about statistics.
I am saying there is insufficient power and data to make that claim.There just is not enough Nuclear power generation relative to other means to be making a comparison about safety. Safety varies from country to country
so if there are issues with safety is it about the culture. Will a nuclear plant in Nigeria be as safe as one in France.Considering that 90% of power is non nuclear and that 100% of power in third world countries is Non nuclear. You need to be very careful about making claims about safety that have nothing to do with whether it is nuclear or not and more to do with national culture practices and safety expertise
Air travel is safe but this varies from country to country just like road travel too

Accidents are not the only hazards of nuclear power. What about the radiation from the plant and the waste.
What about security of installations and of nuclear material and vulnerability to attacks and theft.

Blue3k:
They only issue is Nigerian factor. I have zero confidence in federal government managing the plant. 

Paperwhite:
Misplaced priority! 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.

are they Nigerians are they not biafrans?

I know there is at least one at the Ahmadu Bello University in Kaduna State.

Russia Signs Agreement With Nigeria to Build Nuclear Power Plant

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.

omoelerin1:
I thought you said you Igbo reject anything about this govt.

omoelerin1:
This is a welcome development. Nuclear energy is the most effective and reliable alternative source of power for Nigeria currently.
It is only the pessimists that are condemning this laudable step by the Govt.
This has been proposed years back by the administration of former president, Goodluck Jonathan.

Aside from the purpose of generating power, it will also boost the nation's image in the international arena as the nuclear power states are more respected and secure in the contemporary hostile international system. Hence, the reason for nuclear race among the super power and even the emerging power today.
More over, considering the fact that Nigeria and South Africa are the leading contenders in Africa for the permanent membership position in the United Nations Security Council, should the most powerful international organization is restructured. South Africa has nuclear power, while Nigeria does not possess same. This is one of the factors that may work against her.
Therefore, possession of nuclear energy by Nigeria is long over due.

Blue3k:


After this long rambling you wrote up here your still wrong bease you simple didn't read the chart yourself. 90 trillion kwh is more than enough to gauge the percentage of safety. You claim that is too small is unfounded it's just a little less than wind energy for example. Besides no matter how you cut figures other sources of power are higher. You can do the math yourself. Besides there only 3 accidents people can site for this technology which why your safety argument is laughable.

You say safety varies by country for all forms of power. The chart measures is world wide so that factor is controlled. You made a straw man with maintenance culture. I already mentioned this but good job repeating me.

You air travel example also equally flaud because air travel is safer than driving factually. In order to build nuclear plant you have to plan for all those scenarios and being EIA. We have agency who's job it is to handle those things.

baysol:
...and why was it enshrouded in so much secrecy? Where in Nigeria were they to be built. This is one of the evil northern agenda being plotted and being hatched in this wicked buhari regime our school cert failed president.

nnokwa042:
I thought u said Lagos is richer than Switzerland that they also ve oil that Lagos don't need oil money

Blue3k:
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. I have zero confidence in federal government managing the plant.

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.

@ Blue3k
You are one of the soundest economic analysts on Nairaland and most times, I enjoy reading your analysis which I often find very informative.

But I disagree with you on the issues of open grazing and nuclear power.

QueenOfNepal:
Another of your dumb theory because you are still in your adolescent age which makes you to grow aggressive when you meet someone of the opposite sex.


Drink water and face your books because people like you end up wandering the streets after school because they read
up the whole white man ttheories forgetting they are Nigerians

ReubenE:
This toxic President......we are yet to distribute to full capacity the one we produce now.
He should site them in his sitting room before militants and their likes threaten to blow them up....

This Buhari just like hazard

Alariiwo:


Anambra or Imo would be best to situate such plant.

Other areas are too congested to gamble with such.
