You are ignorant. The nuclear development program has been under development as a vision 2030 project since circa 2005. If began with the training of post graduate scientists jn countries with nuclear energy and particularly South Korea.
There have only been four major nuclear site accidents among the world:s 436 nuclear power plants.

So, you are telling me, this plan for nuclear energy, will WITHOUT A DOUBT not have issues with

1. Nuclear waste management i.e. Used fuel transportation, storage and disposal >> Have you been to Dandora?
2. Security of the facility resulting from Kenya's endemic corruption problems.
3. Issues with funding/ taking shortcuts as a result i.e. JKIA airport.

All I know is, IF this ever goes online, I will be avoiding Kilifi for a good while.

All your questions are theoretical. Why haven't we had technical faults with geothermal, or hydros? You really think we've been training and preparing for nearly 20 years for nothing?
In any case all nuclear power plants are approved and supervised by IAEA.

@Mwalimu-G your responses to @Young_Turk are simply condescending and patronizing. Beginning a response with "you are ignorant" basically means you have lost the argument and your cause has been lost! If you appeared at that meeting with such attitude and simply naming other countries with similar technologies, --countries that have way advanced economies, technology, advanced national security/defense and stable governments, you are not wining any support you are looking for, even if you fill a townhall with mostly clueless villagers like the ones I saw on the video. You need to be aware that Kenya is not anywhere close in any way, shape or form whatsoever to any of the countries currently running a nuclear power station. FYI, geothermal and hydro electric do NOT have any of the inherent liabilities that Nuclear energy presents. One last question: why would they choose the most pristine ecological site (Mida Creek), in the middle of a highly populated tourist resort town for something like that? With the spectacular failure record of major national projects why would anyone be so ignorant enough to come up with such an idea?

Such critical facilities are usually run by a core team of seasoned personnel and not newly qualified, inexperienced trainees. To add on to that, international bodies such the IAEA are closely involved in monitoring the running of such facilities to ensure that they abide by set international standards. That said, it is also true that corruption features in everything that we do. Most of the people who went for training did so through connections. We just have to hope that they did not insert some super dumb fellow who will blow us up one day.

You are hoping for the wrong thing.

My well-founded doubts will come to pass.

And I HIGHLY DOUBT the IAEA will come to help with the nuclear fallout/ clean up job.

Even after they clean up, (read up on what Japan had to do in Fukushima - an ongoing job that started in 2011) Kenya's tourism sector will have to overcome the stigma that comes with being branded a nuclear disaster site.

Do you think Kenya's government has the mettle to tough out a 10-year disaster management plan???

Or will they just give up and declare it resolved?????

My money is on the latter.
