The Quest for Nuclear Power in Ghana by John Amuasi, Kofi Korsah, and Laala Anum Kofi is a timely and authoritative exploration of Ghana's journey toward integrating nuclear energy into its national energy strategy. This groundbreaking book offers a comprehensive history of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission (GAEC), while clearly explaining the science and safety of nuclear power in accessible, layman-friendly language.
The authors walk readers through the structure and functionality of nuclear reactors, fuel assemblies, reactor controls, and how nuclear energy is harnessed through criticality to produce electricity. Crucially, the book demystifies reactor engineering, outlines nuclear safety practices, and addresses concerns about waste disposal and the return of spent nuclear fuel to supplier nations.
A major highlight of this book is its detailed examination of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)—a cutting-edge nuclear technology with features ideal for African nations, including affordability, compactness, enhanced safety, and scalability.
