My friend, Nuclear plants are DANGEROUS if not maintained. That is why Europeans are getting out of that business.

And where the FUCK do we dump the Nuclear waste, huh? You want CANCER ILLNESSES to finish us off in Ghana?

Stop this your TOKE-BELE nonsense!!!

Yea! The benefits of nuclear energy would be huge, especially for a country like Ghana that is seeking to develop. It is only sad that Ghana has not been able to harness this important source of energy though we were initiated to it as far back as Nkrumah's time.

We can't wait any longer to get the facility we have expanded and made more efficient to provide us with the energy we need and also put it to other scientific uses. My little fear is whether we have the diligence to deal with the hazards associated with nuclear power plants when we can not manage companies like the electricity company, water, cocoboard, railway system, NHIS, and the rest.

Don't worry, Yaw. Akufo-Addo will find all the answers to our problems. He will know what we shall do with the waste. With Nana, we will now manage competently all the companies you mentioned. Ghana will be transformed within 18 months. Was that not what they promised us?

But this writer didn't talk about the present state of our nuclear programme. We have something at Kwabenya. What, exactly is it?

I have read a detailed report on the Chernobyl incident in Russia, and also the Fukushima plant in Japan. These two accidents are enough to send cold shivers through my spine. For example, the Chernobyl accident could have destroyed the whole of Eastern Europe but for the bravery of three of the workers at the plant, who are said to have put their lives on the line to save that situation from happening.

Nuclear in dangerous and we have to tread cautiously if we decide to take it any further from what we are doing now.

Even the Germans don't know what to do with their Nuclear waste. They tried to dumb it to Czech Republic and pay them millions of dollars to take it.
And you so Nana will know what to do with ours ?

Ghana would have been one of the leading Nuclear-energy-powered countries in Africa had it not been the CIA. The late Dr Kwame Nkrumah had the foresight and built Atomic Research Institute at Kwabenya for a certain reason. So what really happened to Kwabenya since the demise of the great man? Until we ravel this mistry, the west or our allies may become impediments on the President's way to nuclear energy in Ghana.

NPP was against nuclear and coal energy.In 1967 Busia who was then the adviser of the National Liberation Council (NLC)told the military junta to handover the 25 megawatts nuclear reactor that the U.S.S.R. donated to us to be given free the the U.S. This is NPP cynicism for you. If they are not in power everything that is been done by the party in power is not good, but if the are in power even a deodorized shit to them is food for everyone to consume.

The NPP boasts of a tradition stretching to Busia and Danquah. But a critical examination of the issue will show that the link is tenuous. Today's NPP has not much to do with Busia or Danquah except for the tribal link. NPP, in particular, grew up more as a reaction to Rawlings/PNDC than any ideological link to Danquah.

Haven't you noticed they no longer shout "property owning democracy"? Will a Danquah inspired ideology really dangle free SHS before the people and promise government building a factory in each district?

So don't expect NPP to pursue any major policy that PP had tried its hands on. So Busia may be against nuclear energy but Akufo can be for - if indeed, he said anything about that especially in their manifesto.

Owusu's article doesn't really give any sources.

5A 5000 YEARS OLD SECRET JINNI FORMULA THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF WEALTH AND SUCCES “THE HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING” A SECRET FORMULA unwritten until now, Remember the KINGS and their fabulous wealth? Even today the tomb of the KINGS yields spectacular quantities of GOLD, SILVER, and DIAMONDS AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES. How did they ever amass these incredible riches? The ANSWER is given in this strongly HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. The wearer of this RING gets AUTOMATICALLY anything wants he in his life, for e.g. MONEY, FAME, SUCCESS, HAPPINESS, LOVE, POWER, LUCK and so on, they are all yours 17 you are wearing the HIGH POWER JINNI MAGIC RING. If you cannot see the light from where you stand perhaps you has been standing behind a pillar all this time. The appropriate time has now come for you to knock off aside the pillar which has been obstructing your success all these days and if you cannot knock off this pillar at least move out from behind it and see what all awaits you in this universe. Through the Gracious help of great GURU (SAGE) this hidden RING is brought out with a bold assert that no man has upon this world to pass away unannounced. Nobody is to bear a perpetual burden of privation and to court death as the ultimate resort beyond also suffering. This word of happiness is equally desired to be shared by all, but here are many who ping for it and in the long run fall a victim to relentless time not even able to make both the ends meet the other flourish happily in the lap of luxury and pleasure and roll on the bed of wealth. On the hold this GREAT RING after the performance of necessary ceremonies does not fall a prey to any serious malady, his life may be extended to one hundred years, fire, water and air cannot tarnish or destroy this person. He will never in any danger of calamity. Spirits, Demons, Evil of bad Luck, Evil spirits, Black magic will submit to him and never dare do any always pass their time in safety. The nine planets always smile upon them and even KINGs bear submission. This mysterious Ring is the best filler of all desire fear, Grief’s miseries etc. cannot appreciate to the door of the wearer: A person accounted with the RING may turn the council to see his opposes turn dump and loose the power of speech. It is the desire of the great GURU (SAGE) rather my behest that every person of means should hold this great RING which is permanent in stopping premature death. It is a river of vast wealth and reputation apenerial sources of fame and prosperity and the great amulet and charm of the world. Hold this Ring and make your life Glorious and great. Highly Efficacious. Life long and Durable. The cost of this power is too great but because on the special request of the world, I am charging all the devotees only a little amount of GH¢300.84.0547122212

i read with amazement the things you attribute to Nana Addo on Nuclear Power. how can you be this dishonest like that, the Ghana Atomic Energy commission that organised the event where the IAEA experts came were not give the credit due them.

For you information the said event was planed wey before the 2016 elections which brought Nana to power so if Nana has any help he should channel it to GAEC to help the dream become a reality and stop this propaganda and untruths

PP, NPP and capitalism.. The matter with rightists is that when even they claim that they kill a socioeconomic system they still wear its clothing.
Thus thought the capitalist claim that he overthrew monarchy, yet it embrace the ideas of monarchy 100% and love the monarchy more than any socioeconomic system.
The garment that NPP is dressed in in that of UP and PP. NPP and Nana Akufo-Addo has not stated that the factories they dream will be build in every district in Ghana will be owned by the state. They said they will be private properties owned by foreigners.

Going Nuclear is not just construction and the great benefit but what must be critically considered now is advance research. Nuclear is very critical in the sense that if out of hand, nations and continents go into massive destruction.
if Ghana is not ready, let's take it in steps till we can handle.
great initiative but I think we must not lost focus as well on the renewable energy!!!!!

I am humbly appealing to H.E.The President, to consider relocating Ghana's Nuclear Energy Program along the banks of the Volta River, since reactors that generates power constantly need water to cool off. Following the examples and collaborating with managers of the city of Toronto's power providers in Canada would be a great, great idea. Ghana could have one of the most stable power systems in the world. I have lived in Canada for 25 year but can't remember ever experiencing any kind of any "Dum-sor" except on a major glitch that hit the entire North America's integrated Power System. It was fixed in lightening speed manner. Let's explore our nuclear power programs seriously and help make Ghana a shinning star of Africa and the world. Let all progressive-minded Ghanaians rally behind the President to Ghana work again.

Even though there is no NUCLEAR POWER PLANT in Ghana, the best we can do is to make use of the Atomic Energy Field in Haatso, Accra. Governmebt must take a bold step in putting much investment into this which will solve our erratic power supply permanently as compared to always relying on these short term policies of buying energy plants.
