South Africa plans to recommission its mothballed pebble bed modular reactor (PBMR) programme and accelerate small modular reactor (SMR) development as part of a renewed nuclear energy strategy.
The news was announced by the Minister of Electricity and Energy, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, during his address at the second G20 Energy Transitions Working Group Role of Nuclear in Clean Energy event at the Cape Town International Convention Centre this month.
