Various stakeholders in the mining sector will meet at Hyatt Kilimanjaro Hotel in Dar es Salaam tomorrow, November 17, 2011 to discuss development of uranium industry in Tanzania.
The one-day workshop organized by the Institute of Engineering Tanzania (IET) through its Division of Mining and Metallurgy seeks to discuss at lengthy about uranium mining and its contribution on the socio-economy.
A statement issued by IET Executive Secretary Eng Swaleh Kassera in Dar es Salaam yesterday said that, various presentations would be made by experts in different areas.
Such presenters include Mr Emmanuel Ole Naiko, the immediate former Executive Director of Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC).
Others will come from the Tanzania Atomic Energy Commission (TAEC), Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa (NECSA), Ministry of Energy and Minerals, National Environmental Management Council (NEMC), Mantra Tanzania Limited and Uranex.
The statement said that attendance is bi invitation only but interested people who want to participate should contact the organizers.
The workshop comes at a time when Mantra Tanzania, is seeking a license to start mining uranium at the Mkuju river area in Ruvuma in Southern Tanzania.
Mantra Tanzania has already completed environmental and social impact assessments (ESIA) in the area which have been submitted to NEMC and other government organizations.
“We have invited a team of experts in the sector who will help give a technical assessment on uranium mining that will commence late next year. The invitees that include government agencies and parastatals, Non Government Organizations, (NGOs), religious leaders and the media among others. It is our hope that the workshop will provide a deep insight into the matter”, he said.
Records indicate that Uranium exploration at the Mkuju river area would generate over 3bn dollars in exports during the entire lifespan of the mine and will place Tanzania at the third position as the biggest producer in Africa.
Huu mkutano umegeuzwa kuwa ni tasnia ya watu wachache, Tanzania ina matatizo sana ktk suala la ushirikishwaji wa watu ktk mambo, hebu angalia, hawatangazi mapema, taarifa ya hili tukio inatoka siku moja kabla maana yake ni kuwa wameshajipanga ni nani wa kuhudhuria.....kila kitu siasa ,siasa,siasa, kuliko sayansi, na zaidi ya hapo utakuta wahudhuriaji almost ni wanataaluma walio wanasiasa!..matokeo yake hapafanyiki kitu!..inakuwa ni kikao cha watu kuvuta mafao na kunywa chai Kilimanjaro Hotel...TUBADILIKE!!!!
ReplyDeleteIts that time again Tanzania to sign contracts without reading what is written because they are telling us that we would make $3 billions! That is very little money for uranium! They need to talk about making trillions a year not billions! This time we wont sleep we will make sure we are going to read every line. And one of the conditions we need nuclear reactors in Tanzania to generate energy!
ReplyDeleteUmefika wakati tena Tanzania kuingia kwenye mikataba mibovu na kujiweka kwenye kitanzi. Na hii inasababishwa na serikali kutokuwa makini inakimbilia kutaka kupata pesa bila kuona kwamba hiyo pesa wala haisaidii raia bali inaishia mikononi mwa wachache. What is $3bilion hiyo ni pesa kidogo sana ukilinganisha na uthamani wa uranium, inabidi kutathimini kwa makini la sivyo tutaibiwa mali zetu zote na kubakishiwa maradhi na umaskini kama kawaida yetu. This time tuwe makini sana iwe ndo kipimo cha sisi kujirekebisha.
ReplyDeletejamani jamani tanzania inakwenda wapi? wananchi lazima wahusishwe kutoa mawazo ! Hayo madini ni mazito zaidi ya yote yachimbwayo duniani lazima wananchi washirikishwe na waelimishwe nini faida na nini hasara, tusione leo tu tuangalie na kizazi kijacho wataishi vipi?

Zaidi ya hapo sula la ''NUCLEAR'' tusiangalie upande wa BILLIONS OF US$ tuangalie madhara na tahadhari zake kwa usalama wetu(UCHIMBAJI WA MADINI YA URANIUM UNA MADHARA ZAIDI YA UFUAJI NISHATI YAKE).....NUKE is a very sensitive matter mazingira yetu na vizazi vyetu vijavyo, huko Western waliko endelea mfano US Obama ameamuru mtambo mmoja umeharibiwa juzi tu, SWEDEN walikuwa na mitambo mingi wa mwisho umefungwa mwaka 2000 ,Italy imebaki na vinu vi 4 tu, SWISS imefunga mitambo imebaki kidogo, wengine GERMANY wenye mahitaji makubwa ya nishati wanafikiria kufunga mitambo ya Nuke kuzingatia madhara yake ,,,,sisi tunaangalia BILLIONS OF $$$ tu!
ReplyDeleteTuzingatie NUCLEAR SAFETY PACT kwanza! ...KIKAO HIKI WAMEKIFANYA CHA KICHOYO KWA KUTAKA MAFAO TU ILIBIDI WATU WASHIRIKISHWE IWEZEKANAVO KAMA LILIVYO SUALA LA KATIBA KWA VILE YOTE NI MASUALA NYETI SANA KWETU!
Hapo kikao kimeharakishwa na kuwa siri, hiyo inawezekana wamepanga TAEC (Taasisi ya Atomiki na Nyuklia ya Serikali ya Tanzania-Makao Makuu Arusha)na hao wawekezaji MANTRA na URANEX...kwa kuwa nchi zingine wawekezaji wa Atomiki na Nyuklia huwa wana banwa sana ktk sheria na mikataba, pia joto la Wanaharakati wa Nyuklia na Atomiki.
ReplyDeleteNdio Mdau nakuunga mkono, watu wa Nyuklia huku Ughaibuni huwa wanafanya kazi zao ila wanabanwa zaidi ktk kutoa uhakikisho kama miradi yao haitakuwa na madhara kwa mazingira na watu na je itatoa tija kwa jamii?...Ujerumani Profesa wa Nishati /Nyuklia alitoa uhakikisho kuwa ktk mtambo fulani hakuna madhara ya mionzi ya Nyuklia (LEAD CONTAMINATION) baada ya mtambo kutoa tafrani ,ili kuhakikisha aliamurishwa apite pale ili kama hata pata madhara ionekane sio aishie kesema tu...Japan Meya wa jiji alisema maji ya eneo moja hayana madhara ya Nyuklia na yeye aliamrishwa anywe maji yale ili watu wathibitishe kauli yake!.
