| contents | <p>Nuclear power technology is among the best for producing energy because it emits clean energy while preventing greenhouse gas emissions from entering the atmosphere. Nuclear energy now provides about 10% of the world's electricity from about 440 power reactors. There are several areas in Tanzania where Uranium has been discovered (Namtumbo, Bahi, Galapo, Songea, Simanjiro, Tunduru, Madaba, and Nachigwea). This policy brief explores Tanzania's legal environment, the use of nuclear energy to combat climate change, nuclear power potential, and obstacles to the construction of nuclear power facilities. It recommends that the government make more efforts and a strong commitment to establishing nuclear power plants, enhance community awareness, research, and training, establish a stand-alone Uranium policy, and optimize for small modular reactors. It concludes that there is a potential to use the Uranium that is currently available to meet energy demand and significantly reduce climate change.</p> |
