No radiation leak after 'contamination' events at Africa's only nuclear plant, regulator says
South Africa's nuclear regulator confirmed no radiation leak into the environment during three contamination events at the Koeberg Power Station. The incidents, caused by power loss to ventilation during maintenance, were contained, with worker exposure below levels from a dental X-ray. The plant, Africa's only nuclear facility, remains operational with extended reactor lifetimes as the country plans to expand nuclear energy.
