Russian agency to start building power research reactor as a first step to introducing nuclear energy in the region.


Russia’s nuclear energy agency, Rosatom, said it was planning to start developing nuclear energy in Tanzania following discovery of uranium and because of the mining activities in southern Tanzania.

In Uganda, the agency seeks to pass on expertise in nuclear technology as the country works towards building its first nuclear power plant by 2034.

While meeting Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, Viktor Polikarpov, Rosatom’s regional vice-president of sub-Saharan Africa, said the firm would provide professional training in nuclear infrastructure development, staff training, public acceptance, nuclear medicine, agriculture.

According to the AF-Consult Switzerland report on Uganda’s nuclear ambitions, the country will require to invest $26 billion to have an installed capacity of 4300 MW from nuclear energy by 2040.

Uganda’s parliament approved the principles and areas of the peaceful use of nuclear power in 2002 and passed the Atomic Energy Act establishing the Atomic Energy Council, the national regulator, and the Nuclear Energy Unit forming part of the Ministry of Energy in 2008.

In Tanzania, Andre Shutov, the vice president of Uranium One — a subsidiary of Rosatom — said Rosatom would build a nuclear power research reactor as the first stage to introducing nuclear energy development in Tanzania.

“Production of uranium will be our main goal, and the first production will be made in 2018, with expectations to generate revenues for the company and Tanzania. We cannot make any wrong step as we expect to reach production step in two to three years’ time,” Mr Shutov said.

Nuclear dreams

Uranium One has already been granted a permit by the Tanzania government to mine and extract uranium in Mkuju River within Selous Game Reserve.

Tanzania is looking at having a plant by 2025 and will require at least $4 billion to actualise its nuclear dreams.

The Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board says the country will need at least $20 million to put up its 4,000MW plants, which it hopes to be operational by 2023. Rosatom signed an MoU with Kenya that would see it participate in the nuclear plant project, including the construction of a new power station. Tanzania is yet to enter an MOU with the firm.

But even as the region embarks on nuclear energy development, environmentalists are concerned about the handling of the radioactive nuclear waste. They warn of the risk of the harmful waste leaking into the public domain.

For instance, uranium mining in southern Tanzania has been in the spotlight by wildlife conservation groups worried over negative economic consequences and health risks to both the wildlife and residents neighbouring Tanzania’s largest wildlife park, Selous Game Reserve. This is the largest wildlife conserved area in Africa, and has large numbers of elephants, black rhinos, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, and crocodiles. It is relatively undisturbed by humans.

Contaminants cannot be controlled

The World Wildlife Fund has already expressed worry over mining and extraction of uranium in the reserve, saying mining and industrial activities being carried in Mkuju River could compromise long-term economic and health risks to the people and the economy of Tanzania at large.

“This could be a major opportunity for the current administration in Tanzania to make a decision that will have far reaching legacy,” said Amani Ngusaru, Country Director of WWF-Tanzania.

According to the memorandum of understanding seen by The EastAfrican, the uranium mining company will carry out significant anti-poaching initiatives ranging from game scouts uniforms, equipment and vehicles, specialised training in bushcraft, communications, safety, navigation, and counter-poaching tactics.

Extractive and Energy expert with WWF Tanzania Brown Namgera told The EastAfrican that risks of spreading of leaching liquid outside of the uranium deposit, involving subsequent groundwater contamination cannot be controlled.

“Contaminants that are mobile under chemically reducing conditions, such as radium cannot be controlled”, Mr Namgera said.

Kampuni ya Rosatom ya Urusi imesaini makubaliano na Tanzania ili kuanzisha Nishati ya Nyuklia.

Hatua hii imefikiwa kufuatia kugundulika kwa madini ya Uranium kusini mwa Tanzania.

Tanzania inategemea kuwa na kinu cha nyuklia kufikia mwaka 2025 na itahitaji kiasi cha dola za Marekani bilioni 4 ili kufikia lengo hilo.

Me nipo huku now,wanafanya exploration,and they have been here for the last 8 years,naskia uranium imeshuka bei katika soko la kimataifa ndio maana wanasubiri bei ipande ndio wananze,ila pia wanatafuta the cheapest and safest way ili waanze uchimbji,na uchimbaji sio wa mashimo kama dhahabu wana extract kwa kutumia maji!wanyama wapo huwa wanakuja hadi hapa kambini lakini kuna game,lakini inasemekana eamekatiwa kipande hiki na kimetolewa kwenye ramani ya hifadhi na unesco,maana walishirikishwa wakapunguza hifadhi ku accomodate uchimbaji.unakuja hadi Namtumbo,unaingia kijiji cha likuyu then unapita mto Msawati unafika.Aliweka jiwe la msingi mkwere na alishafika huku kipindi cha hatamu yake,ila Na nyarandu alifika huku,Mtandao ni voda tu na tunalala kwenye matent!its fun kweli,mademu wabongo wapo wa 4 kwa hyo tuna share hao hao,Roster ni 6 weeks on 2 weeks off!Kufika huku lazima uwe na ruhusa maalum huwez kuja tu!

Sasa Kenya hiyo Chati inaonesha project itacost 20 B usd na kwenye maelezo inasema kenya wanahitaji kuwekeza 20Musd.. Kweli Hesabu ni Janga la Taifa.

Hiyo Uranium imeshapigiwa kelele sana madhara yake hayazuiliki... Uerope wanapinga kwa maandamano kila wakati haswa hizo waste ni noma.. Nakumbuka hata Irani alitia mguu wake kwa ajili ya hiyo kitu Russia ndio akalowea na ili kumlainisha Magu wameweka bei kiduchu kulingana na nchi zote walizotembelea ati 2.5 B USD ukitizama other country ni 20 B kwenda juu Kama wetu utakuwa 1,000 mw ukitaka upate kama wa Nigeria unazidisha 9.6 mara usd 2.5 B itatucost 24 B usd kweli Africa kuna Mafisadi wanaouza nchi zao kwa Matumbo yao hapo Russia ndio kaonesha bei halisi ya gharama zao ila Waafrica wanajiongezea wenyewe wawe mabillionea
 
Tutapoteza Wanyama wetu afya zetu uhai wetu na Watalii wetu kisa Umeme.... Wakati Waziri wa Nishati alishatuahidi kukatika na shida za umeme zitakuwa ni historia kwa kizazi kijacho... Tunajiingiza kwenye haya Matatizo ya Nuclear.... kama namuona Bilal akichekelea tu practical zake na ndoto zikitimia maana lazima apate job pale na sio kubeba mikasi kama alivyokuwa amezoea kufungua majumba kwa kukata utepe
 
nchi kama.sweden mwakani inaacha huu upuuzi wa nuclear na greenhouse gases,,.wanakua fully dependant on renewable energy,,,.
on the ither hand ssi ndo kwanza tunaanza kuchimba uranium.,, we have a very long journey ahead.

Tatizo la taifa hili hatuna elimu ya kutosha kujiingiza katika uvunaji wa madini hatari kama hayo URANIUM.
Tunakurupuka kwa sababu mtu amekatiwa asilimia yake tayari offshore accounts (vijisenti) na anatoa baraka zake kuwaangamiza watu wanyonge. Jamani URANIUM ni madini HATARI SANA kwa binadamu. Nchi nyingi tena zenye uzoefu na wataalam wametesa sana wananchi wao kwa kuchimba madini haya.
Mitandao ipo na inaelezea vizuri sana kuhusu madhara makubwa ya kuchimba madini haya kiholela. Lakini kwa kuwa mafisadi wamechukua chao mapema hakuna la kufanya ni kumpigia gitaa mbuzi. hawatasikia wala kujali...labda kiongozi wa nchi Kamanda wa wanyonge aingilie kati. lakini hawa wengine hamna kitu.

Pia utaalamu wa udhibiti wa kujua takwimu za uza;ishaji, ili uwiane na hali halisi, sisi hatuna..
Inakumbukwa wakati wa kujenga reli ya Tazara, marafiki zetu Wachina waliumbuka pale (siku hizi ni eneo la kupakia abiria wa boti za zanzibar hapa Dar es Salaam) walipokua wakiondoka kurudi makwao.. mabegi ya nguo yalifunguka na mchanga kuanguka chini. Lo! kumbe walikuwa wanajifanya wamebeba nguo ndani kuna madini.

Acha mchanga unaosafirishwa na wachimba dhahabu huko usukumani. Balaa

Muda wa kujiingiza katika URANIUM BADO.. HARAKA YA NINI?
