Description
Description | South Africa is restarting long-stalled nuclear power projects and reopening key research facilities to rebuild domestic expertise and position itself in emerging global reactor fuel markets. The initiative includes reopening fuel development laboratories, reviving the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) program, and building a pipeline of nuclear scientists in partnership with universities. The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (NECSA) is driving the effort to rebuild the nuclear program and research agenda, including reactivating key facilities such as a nuclear fuel quantification laboratory and helium test sites. The country plans to build 5.2 GW of domestic nuclear generation capacity. |
