Researchers and Energy policy advisors are strongly proposing a speed up of Ghana’s nuclear energy programme as the surest option to Ghana’s economic development, according to Ghana Web.

The country’s energy deficit could be decreased with the addition of nuclear energy, policy advisors expressed. Nuclear power plants could also eliminate the difficulties being faced by both industrial and domestic users and stabilize energy prices.

Increasing demand for electricity power supply is a result of population increases and industrial expansions, both of which are calls for accelerated measures to venture into nuclear power to ensure sustainable economic growth, said the news report.

The news article also cited Dr Robert B. M. Sogbadji, Head of Nuclear, Energy Efficiency and Conservation and Alternate Energy at the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum as one of the discussants at a seminar organised by Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) under the auspices of the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MEST).

Sogbadji in his discussion aimed to dispel fears associated with nuclear energy production, saying the GAEC has a sound safety record, and nuclear security would strictly be observed as usual, as the commission has had the experience of managing its current nuclear energy reactor over the years and effectively utilizing it for medical, agricultural, industrial and other uses over the years.
