 | | JACO KRIEK: Alec, there is just a sense of the security of supply, the various discussions on fossil fuel, and countries like France have also been leading this nuclear industry, and 80% of France is provided with nuclear energy. |
 | | JACO KRIEK: Well, interestingly enough, it’s also Germany like Sasol, and in the days of the Atomic Energy Agency which is now Nexa, some of the scientists there started looking at this technology, and in Germany they spent DM8m over a period of about 30 years on this technology in the field development. |
 | | We have five test facilities where we test various components of the reactor and the fuel, and we are busy negotiating one of our biggest contracts, and that’s the turbo generator system in Japan with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, and hopefully we will sign that contract by the end of the Year. |
