| Summary: | Title screen Africa is among the continents with substantial number of its population deprived of electric power and clean cooking technologies. Research shows that some 600 million people are without access to electricity in Africa. Nuclear energy has demonstrated to be a well-established source of electricity supply in a number of countries. However, the mention of that technology usually raises social concerns particularly about security, safety and risks associated with radioactive waste management, nuclear weapon proliferation, among others. The Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analytical tool is adopted in this research to unravel the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in relation with the deployment of the technology. Results from the analysis indicates that factors such as availability of uranium, clean technology among others are strengths for its development in Africa. However, issues such as negative public perception, lack of financing etc. are serious issues that could hinder the development and implementation of nuclear technological applications on the African continent. Other factors such as the various power pools for interconnectivity and employment opportunities that such facilities come with, are some of advantages for the African continent. Corruption and insecurity are the key issues that are seen as threats to the smooth implementation and development of a nuclear facility. The study concludes with some recommendations.
