Mantashe explains why he suspended nuclear regulator member
South African Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe said he suspended a community representative from the board of the National Nuclear Regulator board because he’s an opponent of atomic power.
Peter Becker, who in addition to serving on the nuclear regulator’s board is a spokesman for the Koeberg Alert Alliance, has sued Mantashe over his removal and the case will be heard by the High Court of Cape Town on Feb. 8. Koeberg, in Cape Town, is Africa’s sole nuclear power plant.
