The International Atomic Energy Agency (IEAE) has completed its safety review at Koeberg nuclear power station, and it will return in 2024 for a follow-up.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has completed its review of the Koeberg nuclear power station’s safety aspects of long-term operation to extend its life by 20 years, three months after the replacement of its steam generators was meant to start.
“The SALTO team encourages Eskom and the plant management to address findings made by the SALTO team and to implement all remaining activities for safe LTO.” “We observed that staff at the plant are professional, open, and receptive to suggestions for improvement,” Petofi said. The IAEA will submit the final mission report to Keoberg’s plant management, the National Nuclear Regulator, and the South African government within three months.The agency previously conducted two pre-SALTO missions, which prepared the station for the work needed to extend Koeberg’s operating life safely.
