Solar energy can never supply enough electricity for Nigerias massive population, neither building new hydro power plants. It is either nuclear or keep relying on generators. |

Mikkyroberts4: Those types of reactors are no longer in operation. Those were 40's and 50's type designs which require multiple layers of cooling and few redundancies. Modern reactors don't have such issues. Moreover the problems of Fukushima related to the location (close to the ocean) and technical failures in the design of back-up power systems which were placed below sea level. |

Nigeria public officials are a joke. They do not have a clue what a nuclear power plant mean. I know the clamour for this has been going on for some time without serious environmental impact assessment, not to talk about public consultation for siting the plants. They think this is petroleum where spills can be tolerated. Studies have to be done to the point of knowing if the subsoil in the sites has microorganisms that can transform radioactive metals like uranium, etc. There are entire cities in Russia now that are completely "dead" with no human living there because of exposure to radiation due to nuclear disaster. People that cannot monitor ordinary oil companies want to monitor nuclear plants by potentially crooked Russians. This is not funny at all. We should all start what's called "Not in my backyard campaign (NIMBY). 2 Likes |

planetx: Solar can actually. A space just 900 hectres can match the total capacity of all our present plants combined if filled with PV panels. Just 25 percent of the Sahara desert can supply the power required on earth. I am all for renewables. The problem with solar is the 14 hours of sub-optimal sunlight. Storage is prohibitively expensive so nuclear can bridge the gap at night and relax during the day. 1 Like |

Sowore was even talking about this during last election campaign.

Russia nuclear disaster secrets. Here are few of the so many nuclear radiation children all born with defects. So many kids are born with bald heads with no hair. I had a friend from Poland who said he had a bald head from a young age. He claim it's due to exposure to pollutants.

Well that a very bad idea... but I wouldn't worry too much knowing this country, the project might never get completed. It's just the huge sum of money that will disappear that should be the main cause for alarm. |

ajl: Oga. Nuclear reactors are not television sets that you manufacture and store in the warehouse. Plants are complex, componented trains that are design specific. They comprise thousands of purpose built and fabricated parts not off the shelf. Look at the Dangote refinery. There is nothing there that will not have been made within the past 3 years and there are other components being designed as we speak. So how can you expect to find old parts or old technology being incorporated into new systems. It just is not possible. Secondly, unlike other fuel based power systems, nuclear plants are not reuseable particularly the older ones due to heavy contamination. It would be a logistical nightmare and mindless cost to try to clean them up. No nation has ever attempted that. The technology to re-energise spent fuel rods is pretty dodgy and under the eagle eye of the IAEA which watches out for the production of U-235 or plutonium for dirty bombs. Believe me if we are sold an old plant which is impossible, the world will know immediately and make a lot of noise about it. They will not even believe we wanted it for electric power. |

ajl: Just the size of half a small local goverment can produce all the electricty we will need for the next 1000 years. And the good thing about solar is that it is scaleable. Just situate a plant to produce and recycle PV panels near the site and you can add 100 megawatts every month or 15,000 panels of 300 watts capacity every day covering approximately 3 hectres of land a day. Very easy to generate power. The problem arises when the sun sets. Big problem. |

ShattaBandles: But Japan is expanding its nuclear energy capacity. They know there are few alternatives. Fukushima was not a nuclear led disaster, it was a Tsunami led disaster. No one died or got injured from radiation poisoning. The surrounding land is contaminated but it was simply because the plant design was faulty, the backup generators situated below sea level and the sea wall design not anticipating such wave height. If an oil refinery or coal fired plant was situated in the same path of the Tsunami, all hell would still have broken loose, the land would still be heavily polluted and lives in jeopardy. 1 Like |

ShattaBandles:Nuclear plant needs a constant source of large volume of water for operations. The closet large water bodies to the "core north" are rivers Niger and Benue. Both rivers already have massive hydro projects, so after much survey Lokoja and Itu were considered the best sites for the projects. Mind this project was first initiated by Yar'adua administration. Also you can read from the initial alarmist write-up, nowhere in Nigeria would be safe. |

The facility is even shut down and the community on lockdown; same thing in Chernobyl Ukraine. It is an abandoned town since 1986.
