📋 Tender Overview
Scope :
The Deep Geo Ghana Limited, an environmental management company, and the Ghana Geological Survey Authority (GGSA) have agreed to work together towards the construction of a nuclear waste storage facility to support Ghana’s Nuclear Power Programme.
Ghana has intensified efforts to add nuclear power to the country’s energy mix – the target is to build and operate the country’s first nuclear power plant by 2030.
The GGSA is expected to conduct some geophysical studies and identify three candidates sites, out of which one would be selected as a preferred site for the facility.
The deep geological repository is a network of underground tunnels and placement rooms for used nuclear fuel containers. It is designed to safely contain and isolate used nuclear fuel over the long term.
By 2030, Ghana should be producing nuclear power. Nuclear power will be generating nuclear waste and we should be thinking on how to store that waste. That is why we want to go ahead and do this study and possibly construct the repository
