Necsa CEO Kelvin Kemm and the previous board were suspended by energy minister Jeff Radebe in November. Kemm and two board members are challenging their suspension in court. Although the new Integrated Resource Plan , SA’s long-term energy plan, has not yet been finalised, drafts anticipate that no new nuclear energy capacity will be required in the foreseeable future.

NTP Radioisotopes, Necsa’s most successful commercial subsidiary, was closed by the National Nuclear Regulator between November 2017 and November 2018 over safety concerns. It is one of only four manufacturers of medical isotopes in the world.
