Western Cape High Court suspends pebble bed modular reactor at Koeberg

The Western Cape High Court set aside Western Cape provincial Department of Environmental Affair's decision to permit the construction of a pebble bed modular reactor at Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, north of Cape Town. Judge Ben Griesel ruled that Environment Affairs director-general Chippy Olver was bound to permit the non-governmental organisation Earth Life Africa and other interested parties "an opportunity of addressing further written submissions to him".
