This is physically impossible. Reactor fuel is enriched to only 3-5% uranium-235, while a weapon requires over 90%. A reactor simply cannot achieve the rapid, super-critical chain reaction needed for a nuclear explosion. The worst-case accident is a meltdown - serious, but fundamentally different from a bomb.

Will Rwanda build a nuclear power plant?
Rwanda is developing nuclear science capacity and exploring small modular reactor (SMR) technology through partnerships, with a strong focus on education, research and peaceful applications first.
Is it safe to live near a nuclear facility?
Yes. Facilities are tightly regulated with continuous monitoring, and public radiation dose limits are a small fraction of natural background radiation.
How much radiation is dangerous?
Health effects become measurable at high acute doses (above ~100 mSv). Everyday and medical exposures are far below this - a chest X-ray is about 0.1 mSv.
How can I start a career in nuclear science?
Begin with foundational courses via INATOM Academy, join a nuclear club, and follow a structured learning roadmap toward certification and specialisation.
