With Nigeria’s uranium deposits in abundance in Sokoto and different states and the worldwide geopolitics surrounding uranium (a uncooked materials for nuclear energy), nuclear-generated electrical energy stays an environment friendly, secure and cost-effective resolution.

Even as Nigeria continues its quest for steady electrical energy provide, nuclear vitality not solely supplies a viable possibility, it’s also a clear vitality different in comparison with fossil fuels.

However, there are considerations over the administration of nuclear waste when and if the Nigerian authorities chooses to discover this feature.

“As we seek a carbon-free world, nuclear waste management is the most challenging factor to the benefits of nuclear generated electricity,” famous Dr Jimmy Etti-Williams, co-founder, NuclearSAFE Technology, LLC primarily based in Norman, Oklahoma, who has proffered using NST SuperLAT, as a breakthrough in nuclear waste administration.

According to Dr Etti-Williams, “SuperLAT will process, package, load, store and transport nuclear waste in casket containers to several thousand feet underground. It can also be retrieved when needed as fuel in reactors to generate low carbon electricity.”

He added that “SuperLAT is designed to offer safe and economic alternative to meet the present and future nuclear waste challenges.”

He additionally described NST SuperLAT as a geological nuclear waste disposal expertise that may isolate and dilute nuclear waste according to common laws.

“The SuperLAT Technology is an innovative engineering design model that includes the operational drilling system ensuring efficient, safe and secured nuclear waste picking, transporting and storage in casket containers to permanently store and retrieve nuclear waste, when necessary, from the deep underground geologic sedimentary formations several thousand feet below the surface.”

NST SuperLAT Technology system will probably be used for everlasting disposal of excessive and low nuclear spent gasoline and different radioactive waste supplies 10,000 to fifteen 000 toes underground in deep geological focal rock formations.

Dr Etti-Williams added that the expertise satisfies International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and different stakeholder considerations about nuclear waste storage accidents, leakages or terror dangers.

“Nigeria can explore this alternative to trigger several sustainable developmental agenda to pivot her national growth. Nigeria has sufficient uranium, and with this technology, we can have our own uranium plants that will boost Nigeria and Africa’s development efforts. NST NuclearSAFE technology if and when embraced and supported, will increase safety across the industry and other areas of radiation technology.”
