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.

CCMA is going to have fun with this case as Mantashe can't fire him based on that unless can prove it was a lie.

Having the guy on the board is like having an anti vaxxer as part of the SAHPRA board, I have no idea how it was supposed to work.

No it isn't, anti Vax side directly goes against valid science, meanwhile anti nuclear can be based on valid science and business logic (cost being an issue, safety, etc).

Your remarks on anti-vaxers and your so-called "science" is simply twaddle and is being shown as such, sunshine!
