(SouthAfrica) Regulator, Eskom at odds over nuke leak, Times LIVE, Sep 26, 2010   By NASHIRA DAVIDS Radiation levels at the Koeberg nuclear power station had increased for two days before almost 80 employees were found to have been contaminated.
This was revealed by the National Nuclear Regulator.

The regulator has started interviewing the workers contaminated with low levels of cobalt-58 while doing maintenance work on Koeberg’s unit 1 earlier this month.

Eskom said earlier that the workers had been exposed to contamination for only one day.

But according to the regulator “elevated levels of airborne activity were detected in the reactor building” from 11 to 12 September.
