SA set to export nuclear reactors in 5 years…


Nuclear physicist Dr. Kelvin Kemm of Stratek Global, the company behind the local development of a Small Nuclear Reactor system, aims to be ready to export the reactors in five years’ time. He tells BizNews that there has been interest from places as far afield as Canada, “great interest” from Australia, as well as from parties in the…

  1. 😂 he didnt look at what happened to eskom in 20 years . Sasol in 20 years. Who else was in this same boat. Oh yes the repeaters that were supposed to help with 5g and phone signal 😂 my 2 bars 400ms latency.I highly doubt almost any country in africa can maintain one.

  2. This technology is not new, it is decades old, why has it not been introduced? More money has been wasted and stolen than this project would need. Where is the resistance? As an interviewer, why are you asking such superficial questions?

  3. Nuclear waist, have you looked at Netherlands vertical solar pannels, have you looked at water tidal power generation.
    What about geo thermal power generation, wind turbines. All has no radiation problems and cost like 1% of your uraniam. That will kill you.

  4. This is quite funny to hear, about 30 years ago I knew a guy in Pretoria who was a Physicist, he worked for the South African Atomic Energy Corporation, I think it was called back then. His parents came from Holland but he grew up in South African and Matriculated form Afrikaans Hoer and attended Tukkies where he studied. He was gagged by orders but he mentioned that that they were working on new smaller reactors for electricity generation, but strangely enough he could talk for hours on how simple is is to build an ABomb, from his point of view of cause, but could not talk about electricity generation. I am not saying that the idea was born a long time ago, but it surely sound like it to me. I have no idea what happened to him, I left SA 2 years later, but for the right person I will share his name if anybody is interested, to find out if they were working on Pebble Reactors.
