Russia To Build A Nuclear Power Plant In Burkina Faso (Photos) by WriterNig: 4:39pm On Oct 13, 2023


๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Russia and Burkina Faso Forge New Energy Partnership.

In a landmark move geared towards improving its energy landscape, Burkina Faso's military leaders have signed a deal with Russia to build a nuclear power plant to increase electricity.

It is the junta's latest move to align itself with Russia after falling out with most of its Western partners.

The junta has turned to Russia for economic and military support since it seized power last year.

Burkina Faso is one of the least electrified countries globally, with only 21% of people connected to power. An MoU, that has been under discussion between the two nations, is for the construction of a nuclear power plant in the West African nation, aiming to address its acute electricity shortage.

This agreement has been the outcome of extended discussions held between the Burkinabe military ruler, Capt Ibrahim Traore, and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Russia-Africa summit in July. The upcoming MoU will be officially signed between the Russian federal atomic energy agency, Rosatom, and the Burkinabe ministry of energy. The signing is set to coincide with the Russian Energy Week 2023.

Burkina Faso, one of the least electrified countries in the world, is in dire need of energy solutions. Currently, only about 20% of its population has access to electricity, as reported by the International Energy Atomic Agency. This lack of electricity access is a significant impediment to the countryโ€™s development, impacting everything from education to healthcare.

Nigeria needs to invest in nuclear power generation. I even learnt it's safe and has nothing to do with radioactivity.

You need a shit tonne of fresh water to maintain a nuclear reactor .

The fuel rods heat up water and from there turn it into steam that drives an electric turbine.

Water is key in a nuclear energy reactor .

You need water to both convert to steam and to keep the nuclear rods from melting down and spewing radiation everywhere.

Same way he promised to complete Ajaokuta. Africans rely too much on these foreign powers. By the way, you can't build a nuclear power plant without a large body of water for cooling.

Trust this African military ruler to believe this and sell it to his equally gullible countrymen,if at all the story is true.
So Russia that is not even in a position to build one for itself now will leave many Arab countries of the same ilk with money to spare,leave Belarus and its core neighbours and go site a nuclear power plant in poor Burkina Faso?
The next logical question any person with commonsense would then ask is this:assuming the story itself is true,assuming Russia has the resources to build one and Burkina Faso can maintain one without disastrous consequences,to what purpose?
Will Burkina Faso immediate neighbours and distant ones in West Africa even accept to have such risky facility sited in a poor country without the means,resources and technical know-how to run one,knowing the disaster that awaits not only Burkina Faso but the subregion if anything goes wrong?
Russia be deceiving gullible African rulers since the days of Mobutu Sese Seko.
Which African country that Russia has imprints in is doing well?Zilch!!
If there is any element of truth in the story,I can only assume is a sweet proposal Russia has put before the not so intellectually sound burkinabe ruler to not only allow Russia to have another footprint in another African country,but to mine it's reach resources at almost free in the guise of building a nuclear plant they neither have the resources or actual plan to build.
By the time they tell them that the "nuclear plant is still under construction and will be ready soon",over 20 years,Russia would have effectively carved out a state out of Burkina Faso and mined out majority of its resources.
