__NOTOC__ South Africa is the only country in Africa with a commercial nuclear power plant.〔As at 2011.〕 Two reactors located at the Koeberg nuclear power station accounts for around 4% of South Africa's electricity production.〔 Spent fuel is disposed of at Vaalputs Radioactive Waste Disposal Facility in the Northern Cape. The SAFARI-1 tank in pool research reactor is located at the Pelindaba nuclear research centre in Gauteng ==New build== The 2010 Integrated Resource Plan envisages building 9,600 MWe of new nuclear power capacity, by a programme of between six and eight new nuclear reactors, by 2030. The government is considering the practicality and financing of such a programme.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://world-nuclear.org/info/Country-Profiles/Countries-O-S/South-Africa/ )〕 In 2008 Max Lee, CEO of Eskom, announced Eskom plans to build 20 GW of nuclear power by 2025; the first station with a capacity of between 3,300 and 4,000 MW could be completed by 2017. However the investment decision to go ahead with this was not made.〔 Until 2010 South Africa had an expansion policy based upon the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR), but government financing was withdrawn because of missed deadlines and lack of customers. Several groups, including Earthlife Africa and Koeberg Alert, oppose these plans. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuclear energy in South Africa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
