No radiation leak after 'contamination' events at Africa's only nuclear plant, regulator says
South Africa's nuclear regulator confirmed no radioactive material leaked into the environment during three 'contamination' events at Koeberg Power Station, Africa's only nuclear plant. The incidents, caused by power loss to ventilation units during maintenance, were contained, with worker exposure levels below those from a dental X-ray. The plant, located near Cape Town, is part of South Africa's plans to expand nuclear energy amid growing electricity demands.
