A comparative study for the atmospheric dispersion characteristics of two proposed sites for nuclear power plant in Tunisia
Abstract: Countries around the world are considering the adoption of nuclear power due to its majoreconomic advantage with a low greenhouse gases emission, which is vital for climate changemitigation. So, Tunisia is considering adding nuclear energy to its energy sources in order toaddress its energy crisis. In Tunisia, two sites are preselected for Nuclear Power Plant (NPP)implantation: Marsa-Dhouiba site in the far north of the country (N3716, E0929) and Skhira sitein …

Evaluation of the Security Risks Associated with the Construction and Operations of a Nuclear Power Plant in the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Abstract: AbstractElectricity is paramount for Nigeria’s economic growth. Both, commercialindustrial and domesticactivities mainly rely on electricity for daily needs and smooth operations. Electricity from nuclear energy will further boost the required national power capacity, projected to be above 10,000 MW. This study addresses some associated security problems that may bedevil a Nigerian Nuclear Power Plant Project with the necessary response arrangements if any security breach arises. Paramount among the problems observed …
