Global analysts suggest that a greater uptake of nuclear power generation is expected in the future, in line with predictions that global utility uncovered uranium requirements will rise “tremendously”, says Namibian Uranium Institute (NUI) executive director Dr Gabi Schneider. This will be further complemented by the development of small modular reactors, which have the potential to comprise a significant share of electricity generation in remote areas and, therefore, provide opportunities in vast swathes of Africa.
