I also don't think the problem affecting oil vandalism will apply to nuclear power plant, as there's little of direct economic value to be gotten by raiding a nuclear plant.

mrphysics:

Natural background radiation pose no risk to us because they are so low. Don't forget that we as humans are also radioactive. In fact we are told that the natural radiation in France is currently higher than some parts of Fukushima where the nuclear accident happened. Same part that the government is begging people to return and they are refusing, yet the radiation level here is higher.

It is about perception, it is about being bias, it is about the press too. You are radioactive, the next person with you is also radioactive, this level of activity is not dangerous to the health.

However, induced radioactivity from power plants, and oil drilling sites is harmful to the body.

How sure are you?

Any layman could be paid millions to go steal nuclear rolds from the power plant.

[/b]Steal nuclear rods for what purpose? Its not like crude oil with a large market.[b]

Would the nuclear plant be made very secure?

[/b]As secure as it should be...[b]

How sure are you that that there wouldn't be tribalism and nepotism wouldn't be the order of the day when people are being employed?

[/b]I hope not[b]

Would erudite scholars be considered first for employment?

[/b]Definitely, especially for sensitive positions. Also based on the op, the nuclear plant would be run by the Russian company for some time, they'd definitely employ capable Nigerians who will then take Over at the specified time.
Not everything is doom and gloom about Nigeria.[b]

mrphysics, how far about the football match.
Noticed that Samuel didn't go for the match, also noticed another Nigerian(Remi Oudin) in the lineup.
Abeg give us full gist.

mrphysics:


Yes bro. I only saw Simon Moses

I am of the opinion that we can manage a nuclear power plant. It's an efficient source if energy and it's cheaper in the long run. I disagree about your view on Nigerians not appreciating risks. There are perhaps few people as conscious of risk as we are. Also the fact is, the nuclear power plant wont be managed by the average Nigerian, but rather by educated scholars like yourself; who are aware of the risk and will take the necessary precautions.

I also don't think the problem affecting oil vandalism will apply to nuclear power plant, as there's little of direct economic value to be gotten by raiding a nuclear plant.

I agree with you, we need nuclear power plant, it would provide us with a constant amount of electricity generation. Do you have an idea of the amount of power the nuclear plant in akwa ibom is expected to generate?

This is an interesting and educative thread sir. Well done.

richmanrichard:
bro i've enjoyed myself on this your thread. Kudos! Pls is there any online course that you can recommend for someone whom wants to position him/herself for the future opportunities abound in nuclear energy sector in Nigeria?

Bros I currently got a job as a Large Format Machine Operator,

The emission coming out from the machine when printing large banner is worrisome......


Does it have health implications?

mrphysics:

Each unit of a NPP produce 1000MW of electricity and maybe 700-800MWe goes to the grid. I don't know how many they want to install. Maybe we are starting with something small.

mrphysics:

1. Fuel rods are a very sensitive material, more sensitive and more important that some of our top leaders . It is not stored in a place waiting to be used. It is brought as demanded and installed in the reactor core except if there is a fuel processing plant. To steal it, one have to open the reactor core, and this is very unlikely. You could die trying to steal it.

2. Controlling nepotism is beyond my knowledge as Nigeria is a weird country to live in.

Bro, thanks for the mention in the last picture crusade. I was amazed by such structural designs

But I get small question oh

Why do they have graves in the church? As an African, I haven't seen that before, and e get as e be

mrphysics:
I don't know how to add videos on nairaland

mrphysics:
I went to my school on Friday. Got my student card and got few pictures too. Just for you, yes you

The school has 3 campuses, Nantes, Brest, and Rennes.

The Nantes campus is more like under ground. You keep going down and down. lol.

mrphysics:

The response to your question have been answered above in details (I guess).

To give a high level response: Yes to both of them.

Most public schools in France are tuition free. However, my school is a public school but classified as an Elite schools called Grande Ecole. The French has some public schools with free tuition fee and then some Elite Schools with tuition fee. For my school, it's 22k euros for masters. 12k euros/year.

I am under scholarship and also got a scholarship in the school as one of the best M.Sc applicants. I think they pick one from every department and give 6k euros scholarship that comes as a tuition waiver. I got that and it only goes to my sponsors. Wish there's a way I can get that money. My guys dey wait for me for Ogbete main market. I no fit disappoint them.


My point is, make a good choice depending on your program sponsorship. If you are self sponsored, know where to go.

Warm regards

Can someone on this kind of scholarship decide not to come back but to remain and work in the country after graduation?

mrphysics:
The concluding part of the welcome program is a lecture on cross-cultural relationship. A consultant in that field was invited for the training. It was a nice one because most people actually say it's their first time being in the midst of people from different countries, regions, and cultures.

Well, for us Nigerians, we used to multi-ethnic relationship and it's not new to us relating with people from different places.


Yours sincerely had to kill the spirit of African time by being so early to the training.

mrphysics:
The school residence. I will get more pictures soon guys.

So sorry, schedules are becoming more tight and classes more intense.

mrphysics:
Hi guys, it's been a while.
I must admit, it's been tough . The French Engineering Schools are tough and mine seem to take everything personal. .

We are finally done with first semester classes and exams, almost 6 months of intensive studies and exams. Here, we write exams while lectures are on going. The end of one course becomes the beginning of another.

It's been really tough, having lectures from 8am to 6pm everyday except Thursdays (8-12pm) is something I never expected. But thank God it's becoming over and we honestly hope the activities of the next semester gives us a breathing space.

Research project if very important in my school. Infact, every semester, we will do one project and submit an academic paper, I guess the purpose is to groom us on how research is done in sciences. On Monday, we will be defending our project and submit our papers before month end. This makes it 4 documents and reports I have to submit before the end of the month.

So briefly, I will be sharing with you the lessons I have learned and also share the intriguing stories of our niche, the Nigerian perspective and the international view of the industry.

So welcome back and I hope to make it interesting for you again.
