Govt to review nuclear plans

South Africa’s government will review its nuclear plans as part of its response to the recession, Energy Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi said yesterday.

Kubayi, who is in Moscow for the AtomExpo nuclear conference, also said she sees nuclear energy as part of a diverse energy mix, including renewable resources and coal.

It is too early to say when a procurement process could restart for a nuclear project in SA, she added.–
