SA nuclear scientists and engineers in 2002

South Africa's trained community of nuclear scientists and engineers is shrinking rapidly since 1994 from more than 6,000 scientists working for its flourishing nuclear research and -energy programme. This was the crew in 2002. SA has just scrapped its plans for a second nuclear reactor because its R120m cost would have been too high. However it also doesn't have enough trained personnel to handle such a programme any longer.
