The South African government’s nuclear research and development arm is prepared to solicit interest on new advanced reactor technologies with mature designs, building off of its existing experience with both the indigenous pebble bed modular reactor (PBMR) program and tristructural-isotropic (Triso) fuel. These decisions, along with market conditions, will then determine how South Africa approaches its national mandate to build out a domestic front-end nuclear fuel cycle, potentially for advanced nuclear fuel to support an ambitious effort to deploy new, smaller nuclear reactors for power and steam applications throughout Africa. These decisions are to be part of the new coalition government's forthcoming integrated resource plan (IRP) that could ambitiously target the build-out of 10 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity over the next 15 years, with South African utility and nuclear operator Eskom handling large reactor newbuild projects.
