The first one, bigger and more expensive one should be sited in Lagos because of the abundance of water in Lagos to cool the towers and Lagos is known for its excellent capability in managing public affairs, security and valuable, profitable use of public assets.
Electricity from it will serve the industries in Lagos and Ogun states.
The second one may be sited in Rivers State or Ondo to serve the Niger Delta and Abia
There is water also in the north. Taraba and Niger have hydroelectric plants If I remember correctly.
Bobbiee: This is old news. They've been saying this shit for years, but are too much of a chicken to do it.
That's not how it works. The nuclear power plant development cycle often surpasses 10 years for nations building their first plant. It's not something you just throw money at, and it's built. You need to first develop the expertise and experience in handling nuclear reactors as a nation. That can take decades. Then you are able to convince international partners that you are ready. Nigeria has passed that test by successfully operating its nuclear reactors with no incident since 1987, and is now taking her expertise to the next level.
Nigeria Exploring Nuclear Energy To Generate Electricity — Buhari
President Mohammadu Buhari has said Nigeria is exploring nuclear energy to generate electricity.
He also expressed unwavering commitment of his administration to energy mix through acquisition of nuclear power.
The President spoke at the just concluded International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power in the 21st Century held in Washington DC.

According to him, the Federal Government has activated the Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission, NAEC, as the national focal agency charged with the responsibility of developing the framework and technical pathway to explore, exploit and harness atomic energy for peaceful applications for the socio-economic development of the country.
He said Nigeria had also established the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority as an independent agency of government to ensure the safety of humans and the protection of the environment in the process of development, deployment and use of nuclear power.
Buhari, who spoke through the Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation, Sen. Adeleke Mamora, said like most other nations on the continent, Nigeria, with a population of over 200 million people, had a serious energy supply deficit, making it compelling for the government to critically look towards other energy options that were affordable, more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
Consequently, he disclosed that Nigeria had taken a decision to fully explore and harness nuclear energy resources for the generation of electricity, which would contribute to the country’s energy security through an appropriate energy mix.
‘‘With the Small Modular Reactor, SMR, technology evolving, Nigeria sees this as a future game-changer in the nuclear industry and looks forward to a greater engagement with the IAEA and other global partners in the coming months and years to discuss the possibility of deploying SMRs in the country.
‘‘Several countries in Africa have genuine aspirations for industrialization and growth but the lack of reliable and sustainable base-load energy constitutes serious impediment.
‘‘Despite all the good policies formulated by African countries, the attainment of real growth and development has remained a mirage due to energy inadequacy. The possibility of nuclear power is now providing African countries with a better alternative for energy generation.
‘‘In this regard, Nigeria is currently engaged in discussions with some countries and vendors for our nuclear power project. Two potential sites for Nigeria’s nuclear power plant have been identified and necessary processes are being undertaken under the Integrated Nuclear Power Programme of Nigeria with the IAEA,” Buhari said.
While expressing Nigeria’s appreciation to DG Grossi and the entire staff of the IAEA as well as the leadership of the Nuclear Energy Agency, NEA, and other partners for arrangements put in place for the conference, the President assured of Nigeria’s full support and cooperation towards the attainment of the goals and objectives of the conference.
Have Nigeria and its dumbass leaders exhausted other humanly means of generation of electricity before this suicidal endeavor? Idiotic Nigeria cannot handle generation of electricity from " Generac" talk less nuclear plant. Any fool who advocates such suicidal endeavor for Nigeria should nominate his/her home state for the project. I guess some goons in Nigeria should be wiped off the earth.

In as much your idea is solid, u can't site a nuclear facility in such a populated area like Lagos. Imagine if something goes wrong or some of its components end up being vandalised which leads to radiation poisoning, E go affect all man for Lagos. It should rather be situated in a remote location where there is also enough source of water so that in case of any issues, it can be contained Asap
Which money we wan take fund Thay type of project, money wey buhari don spend finish. To make a decent nuc power plant we need nothing less than 10billion dollars.
Here is another housefly feeling like a bird.... He thinks flying like an ave puts him in the same bracket with the latter.
My friend go and hide your self. See this indomie generation that is yet to step a foot outside of his father's hut feeling fly with my post. You manage to get free data only to come online and brazenly advertise your ignorance. If you had sense you'd ask yourself the whereabout of the two space satellite your direction-less country squandered money to lunch into space before day-dreaming of nuclear warheads.
Enjoy this small audience I just granted you and forego any further response from me cos Your disillusionment is legendary. In fact to wipe you Oraimo cord for neck no go bad at all. Just maybe it will reset the pap enclosed by your cranium to default setting.Akpamu.

Money that can be used to build 2 dams in the Northern to Control flood water from Cameroon dams.
Nigeria has 8th largest gas reserves, we have enough gas to power the country.
Ordinary gas to power, the fools cannot manage is now Nuclear power plant, this fools want us to believe they can achieve.
viyon02: A nuclear power reaction goes wrong in one popular Asia country some years back, it poisoned the food the water of the country infact the boss of the station have to sacrifice himself in order to stop it. Oga nuclear reaction no bi moimoi ooo
Are you more professional in the field than those considering it...
That is just your mental conditioning talking, with no basis in reality.
If PAKISTAN can handle nuclear power, NIGERIA can handle it.
EGYPT is building a nuclear power plant as we speak.
NIGERIA has no excuse.
It looks you are functional dingbat. Pakistan has a well-organized railway system that is colorized. Nigeria is not capable of handling one line railway system. Please let Nigeria prove capable of handling locomotive trains before the suicidal attempt.
