Abstract

In this paper the author investigates the present role of Africa in the world nuclear economy. The continent is a major producer of uranium, and a potential site for nuclear waste dumps, but participates only minimally in the actual use of nuclear energy. This role, it is argued, is inimical to efforts for long-term development. Some of the fallacies which perpetuate this role, especially the economic rationality of waste imports, are investigated and there is an elaboration of the need for a policy framework to change the existing conditions under which the region participates in the world nuclear economy. Alternative strategies to effect these changes are evaluated, and a regional approach is considered to be the most realistic.
