Nuclear dreams
Uranium One has already been granted a permit by the Tanzania government to mine and extract uranium in Mkuju River within Selous Game Reserve.
Tanzania is looking at having a plant by 2025 and will require at least $4 billion to actualise its nuclear dreams.
The Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board says the country will need at least $20 million to put up its 4,000MW plants, which it hopes to be operational by 2023. Rosatom signed an MoU with Kenya that would see it participate in the nuclear plant project, including the construction of a new power station. Tanzania is yet to enter an MOU with the firm.
