| about us |
| |
| Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (Pty) Limited (PBMR) was
established in 1999 with the intention to develop and market
small-scale, high-temperature reactors both locally and internationally. |
| |
| The 800-member PBMR project team is based in Centurion
near Pretoria, South Africa. |
| |
| The PBMR is a helium-cooled, High Temperature Reactor (HTR). Although it is
not the only HTR currently being developed in the world,
the South
African project is on schedule to be the first commercial scale HTR in
the power generation field. Very high efficiency and attractive
economics are possible without compromising the high levels of passive
safety expected of advanced nuclear designs. |
| |
| Developing out of a desire for energy sustainability,
the PBMR technology defines 21st century thinking. Its ability to
economically generate electricity and create high value co-products such
as hydrogen for the fuel of the future, desalinated water and industrial
or residential process heat, not only sets it apart from all previous
nuclear reactors, but also from the next generation of energy sources. |
| |
| The PBMR is therefore poised to be the world's first
commercial scale advanced reactor built in the new millennium. |

From a small nuclear engineering company with barely
100 employees at its inception in 1999, Pebble Bed Modular Reactor
(Pty) Ltd (PBMR) has grown into one of the largest nuclear reactor
design and engineering companies in the world. In addition to the
core team of some 800 people at the PBMR head-office in Centurion
near Pretoria, more than a 1000 people at universities, private companies
and research institutes are involved with the project. |
