Knowledge Empowers Communities

Lydia Petersen, a passionate advocate for nuclear safety in Cape Town, needs your support to empower communities during a crucial time. The Koeberg nuclear plant’s lifetime extension is under public consultation, presenting a critical opportunity for community voices to be heard.

As the only nuclear power plant in Africa, the potential extension of this old plant will have repercussions for all of Africa. In times of cheaper renewable energy options, that can come online faster and will less toxic waste, should nuclear power in Africa even be a consideration?
