Necsa SMR briefing attracts 54 potential partners
The South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa) held, on Thursday, a compulsory briefing for suppliers interested in its expression of interest (EoI) regarding small modular reactors (SMRs). The EoI sought a demonstration on (not of) an SMR, and would close on May 29.
The briefing session was attended by 54 potential partners for Necsa's programme. They came from 12 countries, including South Africa.
"Necsa is committed to ensuring that the SMR programme is inclusive of local industry players, so it was important to see a number of South African organisations in the briefing session [Thursday]," highlighted Necsa chairperson David Nicholls. "We are committed to a transparent and competitive process that is aligned with South Africa's energy policies and our strategy as we seek to leverage local and global expertise through strategic partnerships."
"The briefing session held with the interested suppliers [on Thursday] provided a platform to clarify technical, commercial and strategic aspects of Necsa's SMR programme," explained Necsa Group CEO Loyiso Tyabashe. "It was quite encouraging to see the interest from nuclear designers and other institutions who are immersed in the development of nuclear technology for the advancement of humanity. Following the clarification process, Necsa will evaluate the submissions received by 29 May 2026 and prepare for the next step, which is issuing a request for proposals to the shortlisted organisations."
