Nuclear power ”answer” to S. Africa’s energy supply: official

Nuclear technology such as Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) could offer an efficient and economical method of providing power to South Africa, a senior official said on Monday.

South Africa supplies two thirds of Africa’s electricity, over 90 percent of which is generated from coal. Experts predicted that the country will soon need to produce much more electricity to meet surging demands after parts of the country experienced constant disruption of power supply since last year.
