WESTINGHOUSE Electric Company has agreed to buy IST Nuclear (ISTN), a provider of services and systems for the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR), to grow its capabilities in the South African nuclear market, it has announced. Well, well! Isn't it interesting that a company like Westinghouse wants to buy into a technology that all the greens claim is dangerous, a waste of time and money and won't work anyway? Could it be that South Africans have once again come up with something the world wants? To add to the other great inventions we have given to the world like Dolosse, road markings, welded railway lines, the Scheffel Bogie, the wind-up radio and, not to forget, car tyre sandals and the Vuvuzela.
