Nigeria begins review of nuclear power plants legislation

Nigeria's quest to generate electricity from nuclear sources gained steam on Monday, with the inauguration of a committee to review the legal framework guiding the implementation of the national nuclear power program, the Punch newspaper reported Tuesday.

Speaking in Abuja, Director-General of Nigeria Atomic Energy Agency Erepamo Osaisai said the existing legal framework was signed into law in 1976, although Nigeria only initiated efforts to utilize nuclear resources to generate electricity in 2006.
