cool news, i'm looking forward to giving my quota of ideas, and service there

na today Nigerian Government....Fine tunning 9ja since 1960



#BuhThatsNonOfMyBusiness !!!

Moneyyy:
Lmao...so APC states were overlooked.

When GEJ heard the news...

It's obvious you are so clueless and ignorant; people fight not to have nuclear power plant in their backyard; you clown think it's an achievement? I wonder what some of you do on line when you can't do a simple Google search to save your own lives. Pathetic

May God Bless Our Best Intentions In Christ Jesus! Amen!

This is going to give an improvement in the health care of Nigerians. Radioisotopes could be collect for medical use. I believe this could be a reality in 5 yrs time.

it is either u re wicked or u dont no wht u re talkin abt
do u no wht is radioisotope element wit its implication to life?
let me enlighten u
radioisotope such as cr51 and uranium can cross d dna tru a process kno as chromosomal deletion or dslocation. this couses mutation.
dis was d same label german use for labellin bloodcell to no d haflife of rbc. this experiment wereaint carried out on normal human , but on slaves nd prisoners because of is hazard to lfe.pls dont b deceive, is not useful for health. is dangerous.

Akwa-Ibom State is in the South-South and not South-East. Please take note Op. It was before the 1990s that it was regarded as part of the Eastern Region but the state is currently in the South South together with Cross-River State.

Back to the topic, this is a good development for Nigerian! The key to unlock stable power supply in Nigeria is in Nuclear power.

You sound very unintelligent. I wonder the kind of school you attended. Pick up a map and check where Akwa Ibom is located geographically, that's if you can interpret a simple map anyway. To someone like you, SE =Igbo, SW=Yoruba and North =Hausa. Guy stop displaying your crass ignorance on a public forum.

Nuclear power and Nigeria can't go together.

No maintenance culture,no nuclear management skills and a corrupt society where anybody can be bribed to put his country at risk.Nigeria and nuclear power is just a very risky mix.Nuclear armageddon proudly made in Naija

oyefeel:
Why my you state no dey

You should be thanking god that your state is not there boy.

The funniest will be when they're recruiting graduate trainee. You will still see Nigerians applying for Kogi Nuclear Power Station.

Let us hope the Nuclear power revolution takes Nigeria from third world to First world.

Nuclear power has the capability to provide thousands of megawatts of clean energy that will power our industrial development and make our nation stronger.

At the same time....we can explore other sources of energy. Like waste and solar powered forms.

Wot about d demerits

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Where is yellowbar state?

Thanks for the wise question. But sorry, did you mean Yellowbad state? That is, I mean the oil soup state.

dramaine:
I hope the nuclear plants when installed would be handled properly..it's disadvantages are numerous as well as its advantages

Pls wot are d demerits?

Kingsasian:
oga tomas please there is nothing like south south when referring to a geographical location. I keep telling people that Akwa ibom state is in the South Eastern part of Nigeria. The term South-south is referred to the geopolitical zone in this country. Don't get yourself confused.

Abeg leave dose people!!!

Clean energy indeed. Have they told you what happens to all the spent fuel rods. Hope you know they will remain catastrophically hazardous for upwards of 10,000 years. Maybe they hope to store them deep under Aso Rock. Any slip up will make the environmental degradation of the Niger-Delta look like a tea party.

Hopefully

Can you imagine the huge lie?

E shock me too oooo

I pray it comes to fusion. Kogi State has not been in Nigeria for too long. There is absolutely no federal presence in Kogi State.

global warming could be prevented or at least mitigated, the revival of nuclear power seems to be in everybody's - or at least in many politician's - mind. It it interesting to see that in many suggestions to mitigate global warming, the focus is put on the advantages of nuclear power generation, its disadvantages are rarely mentioned.

Hopefully, the following summary of arguments for and against nuclear power can fill this gap:

Advantages of nuclear power generation:
Nuclear power generation does emit relatively low amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). The emissions of green house gases and therefore the contribution of nuclear power plants to global warming is therefore relatively little.
This technology is readily available, it does not have to be developed first.
It is possible to generate a high amount of electrical energy in one single plant.


Disadvantages of nuclear power generation:
The problem of radioactive waste is still an unsolved one. The waste from nuclear energy is extremely dangerous and it has to be carefully looked after for several thousand years (10'000 years according to United States Environmental Protection Agency standards).
High risks: Despite a generally high security standard, accidents can still happen. It is technically impossible to build a plant with 100% security. A small probability of failure will always last. The consequences of an accident would be absolutely devastating both for human being as for the nature (see here , here or here ). The more nuclear power plants (and nuclear waste storage shelters) are built, the higher is the probability of a disastrous failure somewhere in the world.
Nuclear power plants as well as nuclear waste could be preferred targets for terrorist attacks. No atomic energy plant in the world could withstand an attack similar to 9/11 in New York. Such a terrorist act would have catastrophic effects for the whole world.
During the operation of nuclear power plants, radioactive waste is produced, which in turn can be used for the production of nuclear weapons. In addition, the same know-how used to design nuclear power plants can to a certain extent be used to build nuclear weapons (nuclear proliferation).
The energy source for nuclear energy is Uranium. Uranium is a scarce resource, its supply is estimated to last only for the next 30 to 60 years depending on the actual demand.
The time frame needed for formalities, planning and building of a new nuclear power generation plant is in the range of 20 to 30 years in the western democracies. In other words: It is an illusion to build new nuclear power plants in a short time.



Sustainability: Is nuclear energy sustainable?
For several reasons, nuclear power is neither «green» nor sustainable:

Both the nuclear waste as well as retired nuclear plants are a life-threatening legacy for hundreds of future generations. It flagrantly contradicts with the thoughts of sustainability if future generations have to deal with dangerous waste generated from preceding generations. See also here .
Uranium, the source of energy for nuclear power, is available on earth only in limited quantities. Uranium is being «consumed» (i.e. converted) during the operation of the nuclear power plant so it won't be available any more for future generations. This again contradicts the principle of sustainability.


Is nuclear power renewable energy?
Nuclear energy uses Uranium as fuel, which is a scarce resource. The supply of Uranium is expected to last only for the next 30 to 60 years (depending on the actual demand). Therefore nuclear energy is not a renewable energy.



Conclusion


From the above mentioned pros and cons of nuclear power plants, it should be evident that nuclear energy cannot be a solution to any problem. Even worse: it is the source of many further problems.

We must not any longer shut our eyes to the consequences of our being on earth. Besides moral, ethical and spiritual reasons, at least for the pure will to survive we

Akwa-Ibom State is in the South-South and not South-East. Please take note Op. It was before the 1990s that it was regarded as part of the Eastern Region but the state is currently in the South South together with Cross-River State.

Back to the topic, this is a good development for Nigerian! The key to unlock stable power supply in Nigeria is in Nuclear power.

Geographically.... Akwa ibom is actually in the South East of Nigeria..
PS: GEOGRAPHICALLY, There is noting like SOUTH SOUTH......take note..
The name south south was coined due to Nigeria's peculiar nature..

Please take this shit to daura, Buhari leave our akwa ibom for us

as much as i think we need a revolution in the energy sector, I'd say we are not prepared for it. the inherent danger far outweighs the benefit. we have alternate energy sources in abundance which we can harness to give us just want we want and more. thanks

so wat happens if they can't maintain it....m sure they watch sci-fi movies...dats shows wat happens if q nuclear reactor explodes or malfunctions.... sure hope they wnt nuke Nigeria

When 'wise' countries are opting out of this technology and seriously finding cleaner ways of generating energy; Nigeria is just staging an ignorant walk-in.

Take it to Abuja,nonsense.

hmmm! can we maintain this? exposure to radiations are very deadly.

there's nothing like south south in geographical bearing. The term south south was just created to give the minorities living in the area a sense of political belonging

Neplusultra:
Pls wot are d demerits?

if not properly maintained radiation from nuclear plant can wipe out the whole of akwa ibom.

vimi:
Yes sir!

As at 2013 nigeria partnered with Iran as regards nuclear power buh the deal hit the rock prematurely due to corruption n all.

iif south africa, Pakistan and India can use iit then yes we can!
#MyOpinion.

It has to be managed by highly competent people because the slightest mistake could lead to a disaster of great proportions,
Just saying.
