Future developments in the Atomic Energy Corporation of SA
Description
The Atomic Energy Corporation of S.A. (AEC) has been forced, by significant changes in its external environment, to redirect many of its areas of focus. Promising developments in the AEC are highlighted. The AEC considers its efforts to develop an alternative cost-effective enrichment technology as a strategic programme of utmost importance. A brief survey is given of some of the significant future developments being undertaken within the AEC. All these developments should be seen to foster more economic nuclear power and technology for the future needs of South Africa and to advance the AEC on its drive towards commercialisation. 5 figs., 1 tab., 2 refs
