Nuclear programme readiness
Building the foundations for Africa’s nuclear future
Eclipse aims to support defined infrastructure studies, project preparation and local capability development with qualified specialist partners.
A clear role in a national programme
Each party keeps its own responsibility
A national nuclear programme requires distinct responsibilities. Eclipse’s proposed contribution is scoped technical support, subject to formal mandates and independent oversight.
Government / NEPIO
National policy and programme coordination across institutions. Public decisions remain with the responsible authorities.
Independent regulator
Regulatory decisions, licensing and safety oversight remain independent of promotional and commercial interests.
Prospective owner / operator
Develops project and operating capability, subject to selection and licensing; holds responsibility for the safety of its facilities.
Practical contributions, with defined outputs
Readiness workstreams
Gap register, responsibilities and evidence plan
Grid and infrastructure
Demand scenarios and enabling infrastructure
Site-enabling studies
Early constraints and investigation requirements
People and skills
Workforce capability and training roadmap
Local industry
Supplier capability and quality-readiness mapping
Project preparation
Schedule, risk register and cost-estimate basis
Manage interests openly. Protect public decisions.
Three safeguards on every engagement
Proposed safeguards for every engagement:
- Define the mandate
- Separate advisory and bid teams where needed
- Apply independent review and documented recusals
