Abstract: Nigeria as a country has a national power grid with an installed capacity of about 7000MW (Megawatts) of which about 4000MW is obtainable. This paper takes into consideration a method of power generation which apart from being a viable alternative for long-term energy production can also be operated with low costs. The process of large scale industrialization for any nation is fueled by its power sector. The latter is directly proportional to the former, thus meaning that any problems encountered in the power sector are transferred to the industrial sector of such a country. For a country with a population of about 180 million people, over 50000MW is needed to satisfy the industrial and domestic needs of the populace. With the operation of its three Hydro-Electric power stations and seven thermal power stations, all operating at a peak of about 5000MW (as recorded by the Transmission Company of Nigeria in the month of February 2016), it is necessary that other methods of electricity generation that are environmentally friendly and economically competitive be proposed and that the risks and challenges of the implementation of such methods be assessed in order to be able to facilitate the selection of a method of generation that can implemented in order to fast-track the industrial evolution and to revitalize the Nigerian economy. The power outlines the challenges that will be posed and faced by the Nigerian nuclear program which has been activated by the Nigerian Atomic Energy Commission.

Key words: Nuclear Power Plants, Nuclear Reactors, Electricity Generation, Nigerian Atomic Energy Commission, Environmental Impact, Nigerian Power Grid, Nigerian Nuclear Power Program.
