elohorayodele: Once people hear Nuclear Power, they scream Chernobyl or Fukushima.. Forgetting that the causes of both are not grounds enough for us not to have either as the both causes are controllable factors. If Nigeria continues solely on this path of Gas and Hydro turbines, then the Power crisis may carry on even to 2050. 3 Likes |

Another phantom project to get long suffering Nigerians excited about 'constant power.' Nigerian politicians are clever...when they sense tension and frustration building up amongst the millions of long suffering ordinary people, they throw another phantom project (that will never happen) up in the air to get people excited and hopeful and divert their attention from the latest bad news, ie N9 billion naira agbada allowance for legislators. This strategy works like a treat. The politicians know it. And they will continue to use it. The only people who dont see the diversion are naive youths. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Nuclear energy has given us
the power to produce more weapons than to
produce things that can make the world a
better place to live in. We have to become more
careful and responsible while using nuclear
energy to avoid any sort of major accidents.
They are hot targets for militants and terrorist
organizations. Security is a major concern
here. A little lax in security can prove to be
lethal and brutal for humans and even for this
planet. BH ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

GodMode: Well if PDP had done something more about power .....perhaps we won't have had to wait that long. At least we know when APC will give us power. Unlike PDP that promised us 24 hours light in 2013....and then told us 'Sorry, we did not really mean that'' by 2014. At least I am realistic that Nigeria won't solve its power supply problems now....I just don't like the lies we were told in 2013 that by now power would be sorted. |

MINISTER2000: No sir! We can't go about building dams everywhere. Mind you, I don't in any way mean that we have "enough" dams in Nigeria or Africa yet, but there's limit to how much power we can practically depend on dams for. Yes they look beautiful and support agriculture, but they are highly environmentally destructive, particularly in their downstream communities. Developed nations are shutting down SOME of their nuclear power plants because of age, mainly. Every plant has a lifetime. When an equipment or plant approaches its lifetime, reliability reduces and cost of operation rises. Based on several technical, risk, economic, social and environmental analysis, the equipment or plant may be given a life extension (retrofitting) or wound down (obsolescence). Note that UK and Germany are shutting down because they are investing more in offshore wind generation power systems, while Japan is constrained because of seismic risks. So everybody makes such decisions bases on individual's peculiar risks and conditions. So what's necessary for Germany/US might not be for Nigeria/China/SA/Indonesia/Brazil 2 Likes |

homerac7: Mr knowledge!! what happens if the "stipulated period" elapses, can Nigeria still maintain it? Before you answer, remember our refineries were BOOT too
Mr knowledge, you would have replaced the scientist with technicians besides there is no way a nuclear power station will run without a scientist in its employs Why spend that much to build something that carries much risk, it's not as though its establishment is a complete solution to our power problems We haven't been able to maintain our roads, our gas plants, our power plants, our refineries, even traffic light or street light yet we want to go nuclear with our penchant for cutting corners, how do you think the nuclear waster will be disposed? we have abundant gas reserve, why not focus on Gas plant construction/power station Can't more hydro stations be built 1 Like 1 Share |

GodMode: Nuclear power plants do not just ''blow up'' like that. And if you are thinking of Chernobyl....that was human error. Fukushima happened because the earthquake of 2011 damaged the nuclear power plant's cooling system (and we do not have earthquakes in Nigeria. At least none of magnitude 7 and above on the Richter scale). |

GodMode: Because right now, we do not have the type of river that we can dam to produce electricity....plus topography is important. Ethopia is a mountainous country....with rugged rivers flowing from a height downwards. Nigeria? We don't have that kind of topography or even rivers.(We have a potential river in Cross River....but its source is in Cameroon....and if we do a dam there...the Cameroonians would promptly dam the river). And yes...Nuclear costs money. Hence the expense. Or else...we build six-seven gas stations...at the same cost....and producing the same amount of power. |
