IAEA’s review shows Koeberg made improvements, closed gaps from prior missions

Global civil nuclear body the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA)’s peer review mission of the Safety Aspects of the Long-Term Operation (SALTO) at the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station indicated that Koeberg has made significant improvements and have closed gaps identified during the pre-SALTO missions, said State-owned power utility Eskom chief nuclear officer Riedewaan Bakardien. The IAEA has previously completed two pre-SALTO missions, which prepared the station for the work needed to safely extend Koeberg’s operating life.
