Nuclear power ke!

next chernobyl disaster site loading coz Nigerians lack maintenance culture

Remember this quotes



Then you said



Now your govt is paying $20B for 4000MW..

HOW WISE IS THAT

vanunu:
Buhari should stop this ruffplay, when other countries ara moving away from nuclear power, he wants to build one. He should site it in daura.

No river in West Africa can give you such hydro capacity sir! Closest you can get is the Grand Inga dam project on the Congo in Congo DR.

You can chose to build 100,000MW nuclear power plant is anywhere in Nigeria (in you can raise the fund required), but you can't build any MW above what the river sources around you can provide for hydro power. Even having the water flow does not mean the topology will give you favourable location.

So China building 3 Gorges dam on the Yanges does not mean Nigeria, or West Africa has a "Yanges" to build her own.

Absolutely! Let the nuclear plants go to Daura.

GogetterMD:
Issues
1- is it just a Nigerian situation or why are all contracts in Nigeria overly inflated? $20billion USD for just 4800 MW of electricity?
2- I am afraid for Maintenance culture here. Nigerians can know how to vandalize and steal anything, electricity cables, transformer parts, blow up gas pipelines etc. Their ignorance won't make them realise the importance of staying away from a nuclear power plant. Even Japan is shutting down all her nuclear reactors after the calamity that came last decade

bushdoc9919:


Well, a nuclear power station is not a dam, you know.

GodMode:


For the last 50 years Nigeria's MW has been below 3000MW...

Must Nigeria spend $2.5B

If $2.5B will build 3000MW then $10B will build 12000MW in 5 years

You need to start thinking outside the box and how to build better things instead of thinking with what people give you..

“With NAEC’s plan to inject 1,200mw from
first nuclear power plant in 2025 and
increase to 4,800mw in 2035, the energy
mix is expected to have increased to about
20 percent power generation from clean
sources,” Igali said.

givan:
Please this project shouldn't be sited anywhere 1000 nautical miles away from the east. Itu isn't a good choice. Mr Buhari please site your Nuclear project either around the Saraha states or 1000 nautical mile into the Atlantic.

Hahaha, I was expecting vickjames

Read this



Read the article.. It said



I'm sure by 2025 and 2035 you'll be a grand father

Stop defending this your backward thinking leaders

MINISTER2000:
What I meant is we can have more of hydropower dams to increase our power generation. pls sir, why r developed nations considering a move frm nuclear plants?

mathskill:
Why do Nigerians have a penchant for the absurdity.
Why go for Russian technology that is archaic,unreliable and prone to disaster, Chernobyl is an example.
Why not go for Areva,the French nuclear giant that is the best on the industry.
Moreover why nuclear energy that will take a span of 10 yrs to come on stream, at the exhorbitant cost of $20,000,000,000 and the attendant risk associated with that industry. Ajaokuta,a steel mill that we cant complete and maintain but want to venture into nuclear.
For $3,000,000,000 Nigeria can build 6 gas powered stations for each of the geographical zones within 2yrs.
Buhari should better take charge and remove the remainder of Gej team that are still hell bent on shaping a dark path for this country

DeLaRue:

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.

homerac7:
Aaaargh! Too much ignorance here !

Read again, it is a BOOT arrangement, meaning it will be built , owned, operated by the Russians before being transferred to Nigeria after a stipulated period.

Scientists don't maintain plants, technicians[b][/b] do.

bushdoc9919:


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.

GodMode:


Have you looked at the location

Kogi and Awka ibom

Kogi is a central state
Awka ibom is a SE state

If this two "projects" blows up Nigeria is destroyed..

homerac7:


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.

If ethiopia can use $2.5B to create 3000MW in 5 years

Why should Nigeria use $20B to create 4800MW in 20 years...

Note: $2.5B = 3000MW using dams in 5yrs
$20B = 24000MW using dams in 5yrs

bushdoc9919:


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).

bushdoc9919:


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.

Great
- 2016 is too far for licensing - what is the role of Nigerian engineers and scientists - I believe in this project because its coming from Buhari - Since it's coming from Russia, I support the big dream - Meanwhile can generators be banned
