Ghana Has Passed The Second Stage Of Nuclear Energy Development
The US and Japanese governments have reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Ghana's nuclear energy program, which aims to supply dependable and clean electricity, even though Ghana has finished the second phase of nuclear energy development.
Its attempts to save the environment and grow industry include these.
The Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC) and the National Nuclear Power Agency (NPI) organized a meeting to improve mutual understanding on the production of nuclear energy in Ghana. At the meeting, Mr. Mochizuki Hisanobu, the ambassador of Japan to Ghana, and Mr. Dean Matlack, a representative of the US ambassador in Ghana, emphasized their commitment to doing so. Dean Matlack said the following in his speech:
"The United States government is dedicated to Ghana's nuclear energy program's success, and we will keep collaborating to make sure Ghana can develop its nuclear energy capacity in a secure manner. We appreciate Ghana's efforts and are really pleased. on nuclear energy, and we'll support Ghana in all of its future endeavors.
Mr. Hisanobu, for his part, stated that Japan will keep supporting Ghana's efforts to gain from the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes by looking into the possibilities of supplying nuclear technology to the nation. Added him:
The Japanese government is funding studies carried out by Japanese private enterprises IHI and JGC in conjunction with their American counterparts in order to realize the goal of trilateral cooperation.
The second phase of Ghana's nuclear energy project, which included approving the location of the energy's production, has been completed, according to the deputy minister of energy, Andrew Kofi Egyapa Mercer.
"At this time, Ghana's first nuclear power station is planned and has the necessary nuclear license. And in order for our industry and economy to grow sustainably, which is necessary for the creation of a middle-class economy, we must satisfy our energy needs.
He asserted that because nuclear energy is anticipated to be the source of this crucial energy in the future, the globe is moving towards greener energy sources, and Ghana won't fall behind.
According to Mohammed Jafaru Dankwabia, the deputy director of the Centre for Research on Climate Change and Food Security, energy security would help to address the global warming issue that is impacting Ghana and other nations around the world in addition to the problem of power.
Nuclear energy will bring Ghana, in addition to the low cost of electricity for industry and the development of thousands of jobs for the Ghanaian people. The country will not invest a lot of money in maintenance and repair because, according to economic analyst Hamza Adam Attijjany, although a lot of money is spent on establishing it, repairing and managing it is simple. The durability of the energy also means that it takes time before it is damaged.
At the IAEA meeting of nuclear energy ministers held in Washington, DC, in October 2022, the US and Japan committed to supporting Ghana in its efforts to develop nuclear energy.
