Atomic Africa: Clean Energy's Dirty Secrets (2013)
• June 6th, 2013 • 1h 29min
Documentary
Overview
Africa's development is being held back by poor infrastructure and undersized power plants. Countries like Uganda can only produce only 1/4 of the energy needed, leading to daily power cuts with disastrous economic impacts. It's a golden opportunity for nuclear giants who lobby aggressively for more power plants in Africa. But how safe are these new reactors? And what do they mean for the locals?
