Nigeria - The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has urged the President elect, Mohammadu Buhari to resist the on-going discussions between Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC) and Russia’s Rosatom Corporation (RRC) to build nuclear plants in Nigeria, Daily Independent reports.
Recalling the unfortunate 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, it said "building of nuclear plants in Nigeria will no doubt subject the citizens to unavoidable risk,”
“We urged the President elect, Mohammadu Buhari to resist the on-going discussion between NAEC and RCC to build nuclear plants in Nigeria, as the nation, for now do not have the required capacity to manage disaster that may emanate from nuclear accident.”
The electricity employees took cognisance of the fact that Nuclear power plants are some of the most sophisticated and complex energy systems ever designed and no matter how well it is designed and engineered, it cannot be deemed failure-proof.
