THE PEBBLE BED MODULAR REACTOR

MTN SCIENCE CENTER, CAPE TOWN

MTE STUDIOS PROVIDED A COMPLETE TURNKEY SOLUTION, TAKING THE PROJECT FROM INITIAL CONCEPTUALIZATION THROUGH TO IMPLEMENTATION AND FINAL ACTIVATION

THE PEBBLE BED MODULAR REACTOR is a design of a nuclear reactor that was under development by South African company PBMR (Pty) Ltd since 1994, until the SA government withdrew funding in 2010. The Cape Town Science Centre (then MTN Sciencentre) was the proud host of the PBMR exhibition – Pebble Power for the People – for almost 3 years in its Canal Walk home.

The exhibition showcased nuclear energy with a focus on the scientific advancement made by South Africans with regards the PMBR technologies. In addition, many hands-on interactive stations educated visitors, and school groups in particular, about the basic of electricity generation and what the best energy solutions are for a sustainable future.
