Kenya's proposal to build a 1,000-MW nuclear power plant has sparked significant opposition from local residents and environmental experts, particularly regarding its potential impact on communities and ecosystems near Lake Victoria. The government is currently considering three potential sites, with one being Luanda Kotieno, which has garnered some local support. However, concerns persist about the environmental risks, high costs, and long-term waste management associated with nuclear energy. Experts argue that Kenya's existing renewable energy sources, which account for 90% of its energy mix, may be sufficient to meet future demands. The Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (NuPEA) emphasizes the need for comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessments before any final decisions are made. Critics highlight the lack of effective communication from the government to local communities, raising fears about transparency and public involvement in the decision-making process.
