How can any reasonable person denigrate such a well researched and thought out article. Such a person must therefore not be reasonable. we will leave it at that.

Sir Kookoo krakye:
Are you normal? As a nation we have not maintained the little development that Osagyefo brought to Ghana. Ghanaians people cannot even clean our gutters and you are advocating the use of nuclear energy in Ghana. Have you heard of Three Mile Island in the USA? Oh what about the recent nuclear catastrophe in Japan? You are an ignorant moron.
Educate yourself about the dangers of nuclear power.

Our culture of infrasture poor maintenance will pose a huge challenge to Ghana and neighbouring countries if an accident ever happens.

You will say book long to such a nice stuff ?, this shows how ignorant you are.
Nuclear energy issues should not be left to greedy ignorant people like you.

I really do not know why this korokoro DOCTOR got this simple question. First of all ask yourself if we able to rule ourself. Secondly, all individual who head their department could not make any improvement, in all departments no single head or a leader is able to improve the company he/she is heading. Please how more Nuclear power? What I am trying to explain is that, not only finding their way to steal or corrupt, the sense of leading a department is not there. In other words, the smartness, thinking, intelligency can not be put into proper use or is not acquired. let me put it this way, we do not have the sense at all even if we want to. I know every mankind is created with brains, but for Ghanaian do not have what is call brain other than evil destroy. That is all. I really do not wan anybody to come and be writing shit of crab against me for saying that. Is very simple to identify this in Ghanaians.

From your writing you proved to be Dr. "Domo" who belongs to the class that will easily agree that Gold Coast was not ready for self government at that time. Just change for better future than remaining on the spot. When our popular ex-president Rawlings said "anoma antu a ogyina fakor", people with shallow mind laughed at him. Ghana started with Korea and we are so happy using their vehicles when all these critic Doctors never assisted the Technology Students in Kumasi to think of any development. We are standing still with the so called Nkrumah free education products migrate to all over the world as self given slaves. Just go back home and advise the government if you know what you are talking about.

Thanks for your insight and information. All the talk about a nuclear power plant for Ghana is just that; talk! A country that can provide reliable potable water for its capital city will not be able to safely operate a nuclear power plant. It's not going to happen and don't tell me foreigners can operate the plant.

That there are people promoting the idea that a nation that has no expertise to build water closet public toilets wants to go nuclear, should render you sleepless.
Instead of this long but excellent article, you could've saved us reading time by just presenting this summary of yours as the entire article:
"While we grapple with the problems of the maintenance and running of hydroelectric and gas power plants; while we labour to keep rubbish off the streets of our cities and towns; while we are at our wits end trying to fix an education system that is failing huge numbers of future leaders and while we struggle to provide water for domestic use, never mind for cooling nuclear plants, let us concentrate on the things we do best and leave more complex issues for future generations."
Excellent article.

Let our so called prophets exorcise the many earthquakes in Ghana. PKM should provide Ghana with his blueprint for alternate energy from pink sand, or from blue crystals. He knows it all. What do you expect from tackling a scientific topic like this one? Do a precis of it and compromise your academic rigour and subject yourself to public derision and opprobrium?

Ghanaians are so stupid. tending to politicise everything. what's so anti-nuclear about this article? This author is only sounding a word of caution to us. we can either heed to or not but it does not have lead to name calling. ask residents of nyanyanu, kwabenya, ashongman, kasoa, and the suro=rounding villages, what fear they live in with the frequent earth tremor in those areas. and all u do is to castigate a harmless and informative piece of research? come on wise up "fools"

A word to the wise is timely. Well written, the onus is now on the govt to take heed. Please abandon the nuclear project and use the money and resources to do something more useful for Ghanaians.

Anti-Nuclear activists around the world have de-campaigned nuclear plants for ages. Are we in Ghana now awake to this threat? From the vulnerability of the plate tectonic structure of Ghana, with our fragile Tarkwaian and Birimian rock series, we should heed sound technical advice to obviate future cataclysmic catastrophies.

The Ghanaian cannot even maintain official buildings ,the motorway etc.Can he then be trusted to maintain a nuclear power station? God have mercy.

Solar power is getting very affordable. It is very close to being cheap and is cheap in some countries.
Wind power is cheap.
The wind and Sun do not provide 24/365 so something is needed to fill in the gaps. Gas turbines are cheap to build and if the wind and solar parts are well designed it shouldn't be necessary to use much gas.
We should have affordable storage which can mostly replace the gas turbines soon.
Installing solar panels does not take a highly skilled and experienced workforce like nuclear. Wind farm technicians can be trained in a few months.
Large solar arrays are built in weeks, solar systems in houses and small businesses get installed in hours. Large wind farms are built in less than two years.
It seems to me that a developing country should look to what is going to bring them electricity the quickest and for the best price.
