KENYA TO BUILD $3.9 BILLION NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
KENYA TO BUILD $3.9 BILLION NUCLEAR POWER PLANT
Kenya is set to construct its first-ever nuclear power plant at an estimated cost of $3.9 billion.
The plant will deliver 1,000 megawatts of electricity in its first phase
It will boost Kenya’s electricity to 26.2% of the current installed capacity of 3,812 megawatts.
By 2040, the plant is projected to expand and generate up to 20,000 megawatts, making Kenya as one of Africa’s biggest energy producers.
When completed, it will be the first nuclear power plant in East Africa.
Currently, South Africa is the only African country with an operating commercial nuclear power plant supplying electricity.

We don’t need this option in Zambia. It is risky and the price would be too high if something goes wrong.
Let’s stick with green energy, hydro and solar power.
I totally agree with you. Nuclear power is very dangerous to handle, so I don’t think we are ready for such kind of things as a country at the moment. Especially, considering how reckless we are as Zambians when it comes to work, were don’t take things seriously, but only want to be paid. If we could allow a mine to polute our rivers, just recently, now imagine how disastrous it would be with a nuclear accident.
