The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) has called for “caution and common sense” in its press release on Friday, responding to the Western Cape High Court judgment on Wednesday, which set aside as unconstitutional and unlawful certain policy decisions and intergovernmental agreements announced and entered into by the South African Government regarding the country’s planned construction of new nuclear power plants (NPPs). It highlighted that the judgement has not derailed the country’s new NPP programme. “The court has ruled on an administrative process,” stressed Necsa chairperson Dr Kelvin Kemm. “The court has not ruled on the wisdom, or otherwise, of nuclear power. A false impression has been created that this judgement is anti-nuclear. It is not and comment to that effect is premature and regrettable.”
