National Nuclear Regulator harmed by anti-nuclear board member — Mantashe
South African Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe has asked Peter Becker, the community representative on the board of the National Nuclear Regulator, for written reasons as to why he shouldn’t be fired.
Mantashe, who has suspended Becker, said that he had maligned the board by saying in a magazine article that safety concerns may have been ignored in the restart of a nuclear reactor at the Koeberg power plant and had complained to the chairman of the board and publicly about decision making processes.
