Nuclear energy future imminent, despite delays in updated IRP

Nuclear energy future imminent, despite delays in updated IRP: South Africa-based engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company Lesedi Nuclear Services (Lesedi) business development executive Shane Pereira believes that there is a future for nuclear power globally, although it is being hindered locally by the delay in passing the updated Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). Nuclear power can provide a stable, cost-effective and green source of baseload power, but it is the updated IRP that will give an indication as to the future prospects of nuclear in the country, he explains.
