Eskom Clarifies Plans On Mothballed PBMR Technology :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Eskom Clarifies Plans On Mothballed PBMR Technology :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The chief executive officer of South African utility Eskom moved to address confusion over a tender released to the market which suggests that the company wants to revive plans of building small modular nuclear reactors.



Speaking at a media briefing on Friday, AndrĂ© De Ruyter, said Eskom is “not about to build new modular nuclear reactors”, calling the wording of the document released on Thursday “unfortunate”.



He said the intent is instead to solicit “interest in the potential acquisition of the modular reactor fuel plant” and have this “burden” taken off Eskom’s hands.
