Russian modular reactors outperform large Western plants: Nigerian political analyst.
The reactors proposed by Russia are more compact than large nuclear power plants and "take environmental concerns into account," Haruna Ilyasu told Sputnik Africa.
"Fortunately, only Russia and a few countries like China possess this technology. ".
Nigerian uranium, which is used as nuclear fuel, has been the subject of looting by certain powers such as France, the analyst stressed.
On the contrary, "Russia is not in a position of control as certain powers were, but wants to ensure that the resources are valued and serve us," he added.
At the third Russia-Africa summit, Vladimir Putin welcomed the growing interest of African countries in Russian modular nuclear reactors.
