S Africa Approves Study Into Nuclear Power Project, Paper Says
 
Johannesburg, April 14 (Bloomberg) - South Africa's government gave 
state-owned power company Eskom the green light to proceed with a 
feasibility study into the construction of modular nuclear power 
reactors which could be exported, Business Report said without citing 
a source. Eskom wants to own 30 percent of the project to design 
nuclear power generators based on exportable pre- fabricated 
components. The feasibility study will cost about 432- million rand 
($66.5 million), the paper said. 

Eskom said its net profit fell 12 percent last year, hurt by a 
sluggish domestic economy, low prices and a charge for employee 
severance packages.
