Oil Economy Focus Rapid Review
Canadian Company, StarCore Nuclear Inc has proposed to the Federal Government of Nigeria, the rollout of 23 small modular reactors (SMRs) nuclear power stations. This proposal will benefit the more remote areas of the country where the grid infrastructure is less reliable compared with those close to the state capital cities, and comprises the erection of 23 micro grids across these remote regions. “Other advantages are that it can also provide carbon-free electricity, heat energy for industries which would otherwise require burning fossil fuel, and abundant purified water for irrigation and those people without clean water sources.”
