The Agreement for Cooperation in Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy between the US and South Africa expired on Dec. 4. That resulted in Westinghouse Electric Co. losing itsfrom the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to export fuel-assembly components to Eskom’s Koeberg plant near Cape Town.
“Eskom is exploring the implications of the withdrawal of the US NRC approval for Westinghouse, and what is needed to enable them to continue supplying fuel,” the utility said in a reply to questions. Eskom doesn’t anticipate that it will “have to establish new fuel contracts due to this current issue” and no nuclear fuel shortage is expected at Koeberg in the immediate future, it said.
The development may frustrate Eskom’s efforts to end record nationwide power outages that are crimping the economy. The matter may be raised with US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who is visiting South Africa this week.
Oh for fuck sakes.... can't these clowns do anything right?
Yeah good luck with that. This is the find out result of fucking around with Russia.
As long as the ANC retain national executive? That kak wil never happen. It's the reason why ANC was handed South Africa on a silver platter. Promise you ANC and nuclear supply is a recipe for disaster on a world scale. Always been the deal. ANC are not to have grubby paws on it.
ANC boss man wants nuclear power plants but cannot even buy reactor fuel.
