South Africa is in talks with the US about renewing a nuclear-cooperation agreement that lapsed in December and resulted in the suspension of a license for supplies of the fuel to a key power plant.
Talks about a new pact are “ongoing and the parties have resolved to expedite the process,” the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy said in a statement on Friday. While the fuel for the Koeberg nuclear facility isn’t planned for delivery until early 2024, “urgent resolution is needed to allow Westinghouse Electric Co.” to resume supply, the department said.
