Business News of Friday, 7 May 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Director-General of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), Prof. Benjamin Jabez Botwe Nyarko, has called for nuclear applications in Ghana. Prof Botwe Nyarko believes that it is time for Ghana to have an energy mix like countries like South Korea and China. Speaking at a one-day engagement session organized by the Nuclear Power Institute of GAEC on behalf of Ghana's Nuclear Power Programme Organization (GNPPO) with some Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) on SDG eight and nine, the Director-General of GAEC, noted that it is time to harness the potential of nuclear energy in our developmental agenda. What we are saying is that it should be an addition to Ghana's energy mix just us South Korea and other developed countries have done and are enjoying the benefits," he noted. He said, “The sun produces energy through fusion and the fundamental energy God created is from nuclear reaction, so I don't think anybody should be afraid of nuclear."
