National Nuclear Regulator

South Africa's nuclear regulator confirmed no radiation leak occurred during three 'contamination' events at the Koeberg Power Station, stating the incidents were contained within the facility and posed no public risk. The plant, Africa's only nuclear power station, plans to expand its nuclear capacity, with other African nations like Egypt also advancing nuclear projects.

South Africa’s nuclear regulator confirmed no radiation leaked into the environment during three 'contamination' events at the Koeberg Power Station. The incidents, caused by power loss to ventilation units during maintenance, were contained, with worker exposure levels below those from a dental X-ray. Koeberg, Africa’s only commercial nuclear plant, provides 5% of South Africa’s electricity and recently received reactor life extensions.
