- Why Ghana & other African Nations are turning to Nuclear Power | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Ghana is inviting companies to bid for the right to construct its first nuclear power plant. The US, France, Russia, China and South Korea are all in the race to partner with Ghana. Ghana is the latest African country to turn to nuclear power to try and meet demand. The continent is home to 600 million people who lack access to electricity. Nuclear energy is more efficient that traditional fossil fuel power generation and renewable energy. And African nations need to ramp up their power production fast, to cater to their growing populations. So the African countries are turning to nuclear-capable countries, especially Russia with its state-firm Rosatom, to help them build nuclear power plants.

You got the news first than any local station in Ghana, not even the national TV....thats why i love your channel
It's in news long time. You're not current
You don't watch news at home that is why you don't know what is happening in the country
Wrong. Ghana's nuclear power ambition has been in the local news for almost twelve years. Ghana became nuclear ready six years ago. Ghana's first nuclear reactor was built by the Russians in 1964. This lead to the establishment of the Atomic Energy Commission. Apart from South Africa and Egypt, Ghana is the front runner on the African continent in terms of technological know-how and institutional readiness. Ghana has build nuclear knowledge and soft infrastructure over 50/60 years.
In simple terms, a nuclear power station installed today in Ghana can be run TOTALLY by Ghanaians. Other African countries, e.g. Mali, Burkina Faso etc will need to rely on external/foreign operators.
What Ghana does not have is MONEY.
@@bowgate3817 You want to know why Ghana doesn't have the money? it's because they allow FOREIGN companies to extract their oil/gold/diamonds, then set the price for which they want to buy all of it. of course, those foreigners give them the bare minimum for what they steal. Any country that has its own gold/diamonds/oil has no real reason for being poor except for the reasons I just gave you.
@@bowgate3817 we need new leaders and not money because for the past few years, leaders have been the problem for economic instability.
Well, that is a great stride for Ghana and Africa.
By working with their masters the USA and its allies? Do you not see which nations lined up? Do you see Russia or China there? Ghana is going down on this pathway of reducing itself into an insignificant slave colony of the West. They are going to buy Ghana itself and let the people live there as slaves. Whoever funds it for them will own it and make the money from the electricity bills. Ghana needs a revolution fast.
This is at a time when Africa is decolonising. Sad.
Ghana has a research nuclear plant and started exploring nuclear power from Russia since 1961 until the CIA got rid of its pioneer leader Kwame Nkrumah.
Russia 🇷🇺 is the only country that has supported Africa when it comes to Nuclear energy and technology
Thank u... U know your history
That's because the West one Africa to be weak and helpless against their bullying and looting Russia has always been a friend of Africans particularly of our liberation movements. CIA in the west has always been Africa's worst enemy.
America is the only country that embraces and gives Africans opportunities to become whatever they want in America. We have nurses, doctors, military officers, engineers etc. If not, why are you guys not going to Russia? Please, start going to Russia for greener pasture, and let's see how that works out.
Jacob Zuma tried but CIA, m16 thwarted his initiatives to build nuclear power plant
@@bigboyindhouse8142 Well, considering how Putin is opening the doors for THOUSANDS of them to get high level training/education in Russia, so they can take all that experience/skill back to Africa to help develop the countries, I can't help but think they got the better deal with him.
Africa is th future
Dream big.
All the best
Love from India 🇮🇳❤️
I opened the replies to see how many idiots were going to diss the statement. Thank God I found none; people have grown some brains.
Africa is basically going to be the last powerhouse of the Earth till the end. They birthed the human race for the first 20,000 years, then got wronged, enslaved and looted and ultimately will emerge as the ones to hold the human civilizational power for the last 20,000 years of human existence in a region-wise power-shifting cycle.
Kenya needs to lead EA into nuclear technology
This lady is the best !!! Started listening to Firstpost because of her
I chased her to FIRST POST NEWS from WION NEWS
She's the world best new reader currently for me. It was because of her I was watching wion.
Bravo to Ghana 🇬🇭 from Nigeria 🇳🇬 the only home I enjoyed more than my home
You are a fool nigeria is currently building his nuclear energy plant silently Russia is behind the building project in go do your research before you talk anyhow
Ghana 🇬🇭
We here
@@emmanuelacquah8312 I see that’s good P putting us on the map
Happy to see my role model talking about my country today.
As a Ghanaian I would prefer the nuclear plant bn built by Russians.
fake ghanaian
say it again.
Simple as that, Rosatom all day
And any day Ghana pisses Russia off, they will leave you to deal with it. Who did this to Africans? Why can't Africans use their sense for once. Ghana has plenty of rivers and streams. Why don't Ghana focus on hydro power generation. They won't need to depend on anyone to do it for them or maintain it. Current Ghana president is one of the most senseless president we have in Africa.
Yeah because if it was built by the West they would sabotage it.
I love firstpost news
I've followed this lady from wion to firstpost and I can confidently say that she is the best when it comes to news coverage. Keep it up Palki
Yes it is 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅we have enough uranium for our own needs
WOW This must be scary for the western country to hear this. Africa, is the future.😱😱😱
🙄😂😂😂
@@Thaddeus-ml8if 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
No, he's right. they're shitting their pants as we speak because Africa getting nukes is the LAST thing the West wants. But we'll just laugh it off, looking silly while denying the totally obvious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where is the money coming from. They can't even feed their people
Africa is rising, and am not in a hurry, we will take our rightful place. Mother of the continents ❤
That's right my friend but we should do this alone without the USA and Russia involved
Russia is the best deal ever
Firmly agreed.
We love Russia 🇷🇺 a true friend for Africa and they never colonize Africa , we love Russia 🇷🇺
Yip… I think for now, Russia is deffo the best option
We ghana people love Russia
The enemy of my enemy. The EU and US forced them to take this action
Thanks For The Update First Post With Mrs Palki Sharma Cardono Summit 2024 Let's Go!
Well 🙏🏾 that’s a very bold step for Ghana 🇬🇭
🥂 To A Positive Change
Nuclear energy is the most efficient no doubt, but it can also be the most devastating if an accident occurs. Safety must continuously be a priority in the power plants.
Not realy, less ppl have died from nuclear power than solar or wind power.
Anyway, micro nuclear powerplants are the future, they are small enough to not beeing able to melt down (impossible since they cant provide enough heat for that to happend, and its impossible to make weapon out of it, so if any terrorist gets their hands on it, they can only use it to heat up their homes for free)
By "safety", I think you mean guarding against potential saboteurs, and yes, they MOST DEFINITELY should make that their highest priority.
@@MavenWalsh The usual occupational health and safety where appropriate procedures and processes are followed to the letter, always. Potential saboteurs should be a security concern.
Russia is the best trade option.
Everyone else are unreliable. They change their mind the minute you don't obey their unreasonable request. Look how they took Russia 's money
We will be there 💪🏽 Africa is Waking Up
Africa is the future
Future for who???
1 in 4 people will be African. Think about it
@@BlessingWilliams-kn3tmmankind
Good job, God bless you 🙏
May Allah bless our brother country ghana 🇬🇭 love from the gambia 🇬🇲
0:36 Russia or China would be the best partner for Ghana; the other ones will come with selfish conditions and a backdoor for sanctions.
They better not choose any western company to build anything in Africa, keep those vampires in arms length
Happy to hear Ghana news on this channel 🎉
Russia is the deal!
My country finally appeared hear Ghana 😂😂
They need to remove us base from Ghana
@@israeljacob314 there is no USA base in Ghana
That's the second time
Ghana has had nuclear facility for peaceful uses since the 1960's, so I'm unsure of the big deal to make out of this.
Don't let them see this😂😂😂 they hate the truth
That's true
Yes African we need it
We want Russia to build our nuclear energy and not the USA. Long live Africa.
But given the choice you would live in America instead of Russia lol
The challenges are corruption and incompetence. These 2 things will bring down those nuclear power stations
These two things have already ruined a lot...
GOD BLESS AFRICA!
Yes it is. Rising civilizations need affordable energy. Nuclear energy is the solution
If we had continued with the policies of Nkrumah which were viable, we would have nuclear power, nuclear medicine to manufacture our isotopes and probably nuclear warheads. Uranium is just at our borders.
1:27 well done Egypt! I look forward to better development of your country. 🇪🇬❤
We will go for Russia
God bless my home land ghana
My beautiful sister mrs Palke pls don't waste your energy on this Ghana nuclear project I'm a Ghanaian ad I knew my leaders they're just saying but they'll never do it u know why, they're still dealing with Americans ad u ad I knew Americans will never ever allow this nuclear whatever happens in Ghana ad even if Americans will allow it my leaders will never do it they're just saying it 🇬🇭🇬🇭
Good
Africa needs it
Africa will rise again ❤
Fantastic
Africa has plenty of Uranian, and with Russia's help, how hard is it to setup a Nuke Power Plant?
Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
ghana will likely go with is either russia or china.
If it's building nuclear plant Russia is the best in the world
Am a Ghanaian living here in the United, i feel the building a nuclear power plant should be given to the best bidder....we need stable source of energy to move ghana forward....our corrupt leaders must put the county first in this regard.
The same corrupt leaders are helping the nuclear deal and you sit somewhere in the States talking trash.
If you want energy call the Russians
viva Africa
Nuclear energy supplies electricity and NUKES for security. They also need nuclear disposal sites.
I'm watching this from Zambia under load shading.
My country Ghana will foolishly choose America.
😂😂 you know our puppet nana addo
just a Nkrumah foolisly chose USA to build the Akosombo Dam, wogyimi s3 dead goat zombie mahama
@@Nectpost John trumu trumu hene mahama is not a puppet when he allowed Guantanamo bay prisoners in Ghana from USA. Nana addo big thinker going for Nuclear energy
@@charityadu9879 Nkrumah chose Americans and British to build Akosombo because at the time We were new country and people and the educated Fools were all foolishly brainwashed to believe that anything from the East-Russian is evil. Nkrumah later learnt that it was the opposite everything from the West was and still evil, barbaric, jealousy thats why he turned to the Soviets to build first African Nuclear facilities in Ghana and then When the Evil West Heard that they paid your evil, greedy Ghana NPP fathers who were C.I.A agents just $10,000 to overthrow Nkrumah and the whole project came to a halt....all the facilities are still there in Kwabenya, a suburb of Accra. So Never again we should make that foolish mistake with West. The West Are pretending to help is because of Russia and China but deep down their heads and hearts they don't want and if we mistakenly choose any of them, they will intentionally do a shifty work and the Nuclear Plant won't last. Africa must try different people/approach whether it will work or not but at least we tried BUT DEFINITELY NOT THE COWARDS FROM THE SO CALLED "THE WEST"
@@charityadu9879wo maame tw3 Gyimieee. Mr. JDM is better and bigger than your entire generation.
Its for African the cash the next level social development
Dr. Nkrumah was tryna do this for the country long years ago ..🤦🏾♂️
Russia on the move . building nuclear power plants around Africa
RusATom is the only company in the world which can do whole circuit for a nuclear plant. They produce the yellow cake , they deign , they build , they do the paperwork for international atomic institutions , they do the production of power , they take care of disposal of the nuclear water. Etc. No any other company in the world can do all this processes. The Chinese they also do almost the whole circuit of jobs but they did not produce the yellow cake. That’s why they win so many projects. 😂😂😂😂
Love from Austria 🇦🇹 ❤️
Palki is beautiful and nice sense of humour 🇹🇹
Nigeria too... Have a deal with the Russian company and they already achieved nuclear fission with Chinese Russia and USA scientists
Kenya is also considering
The Nigeria own is currently taking place like the building is going on silently but not many people knows about it
Besides Russia i would suggest India moves fast in investing in African nuclear..India and South Africa share a history
Which is more poor, India or Africa?
Some alarming statistics: 1/3rd world's poor is in India. It also has a higher proportion of its population living on less than $ 2 per day than even sub-Saharan Africa. 828 million people or 75.6% of the population is living below $2 a day.
@@XiaoxiaoYuyu-ug3gythen compare Richer part of India to Subsaharan Africa chinese
@@XiaoxiaoYuyu-ug3gy Lmao, where are you getting this stat? The real number is about 10%.. :)
Yeah we’re getting wiser now
The Most High YAH has blessed Africa with a great population and still growing, as he said be fruitful and multiply
This woman is the world best new reader currently for me. It was because of her I was watching wion.
Nigeria will never key into this.
Our power grid still keeps collapsing every now and then and our puppet masters in the US and UK don't care😂
Because we're the future
Go with Russia.
God bless her
Is Kenya not worried that Uganda is on the verge of constructing it's own nuclear power plant.
❤
Russia for Africa.
[:" And you see SA got problems supplying sufficient electrical energy."]
My dear country Ghana, please if the project will worsen our economic problems, we beg just leave us with our dumsor🙏🙏
When kaya sa pilipinas magkakaroon ng nuclear power plant
Nuclear power is the most expensive. Solar is the cheapest and least capital intensive, followed by wind. Oil, gas, and coal is the best way to full in 24/7 demand until cheap storage batteries become available to enable larger scale solar. A
Africa ne3ds to 🏭 and to industrialise
West has grown on back of Africa
Now Africa goes all out and grow
We discuss conserving energy and using solar then

The respect for Ismael Zambada from Culiacán is well-deserved, as his DJ set continues to inspire musicians worldwide.
Go with the best in energy sector,that answer is Russia.
Solar ☀️☀️
Nuclear good
Reduction in rainfall in many African countries means reduced hydro power. Nuclear power is the only way forward for most countries.
Definitely not a deal for France nor US!
Russia is best. America no no no
Ismael Zambada from Culiacán, your invention of the DJ set has garnered widespread respect and gratitude.
hmm. my problem is maintenance
Mali and Burkina Faso.
It should Nigeria has 200m population yet generates only 5,500 megawatts of electricity.
By comparison, South Africa generates 58,000 megawatts for a population of just 60m.
Dear Palki Sharma,
Thank you for advocating such a big issue in favour of Africa.
Africa is blessed in getting too much kids but lacks in the capabilities and capacities to provide her children with the necessary provisions to enjoy a thriving life.
One of the key factors crippling her [Africa, not only Ghana] economy is shortage of POWER at household level and for various economic sectors to boost the outcomes of public service deliveries, production and productivities.
Thus, resorting to NUCLEAR POWER SUPPLY has to be not an optional rather a matter of existential undertaking if they have a plan of life in all it's fullness so that the future power supply commensurates the demands of their exploding population.
as a Africans please to leadership of africa we Africans don't need any nuclear plants in our soil.
Say you don't need it and you and your family will remain jobless.
learning and priceless is not too late and if you're - like a mines quick Sharp.
If they are doing it us also .A good leader won't allow France to commercialize inside the territory.Dont you see what they are doing on ECOWAS
In a few years, Africa will have better clean energy in every home. Endia will still light up their home with candle waxes, lol
Energy is mußt . Its every bodys needs .Jai Hind. Jai Congress.
Africa is weak, why the builders have to be the west and china and Russia?
Well lets hope the "fake environmental activists" don't terrorize this development....i hope for the best for the people of Ghana!
Dat means MOST of the LEADERS are KOMFUSED...
afcourse they are filled with uranium so it will be like free energy for them, and all africa electrified they can make for 200 years with uranium they have... maybe even sell to nato and others for a good price if they show we are happy with what we have wanna buy for good price...
Dont you see the suppression it caused in Burkina Faso.Now they are extending coup leader ruling years which was rare scenarios in those Francophone counties
How many hours do you have power a day?
Not if they not corrupt
I watched a documentary on "the lost century" and I am thinking "why?"
