No radiation leak after ‘contamination’ events at Africa’s only nuclear plant, regulator says.

South Africa’s nuclear regulator said Thursday that no radioactive material
leaked into the environment during three recent “contamination” events
inside Africa´s only nuclear power station. The incidents involved
“elevated airborne radioactive contamination” inside the Koeberg Power
Station, on South Africa’s west coast, when there was a loss of power to
ventilation units during maintenance work, the National Nuclear Regulator
said, adding there was no danger to the public. It said the three separate
contamination events on June 30, July 2 and July 7 were contained inside
the station.
