The NNR will continue its oversight and to ensure Eskom corrects the weakness, to prevent such "occurrences" in future. The NNR inspection data indicated that there are currently no health and safety concerns to public or workers as a result of this occurrence," said Peter Bester, NNR Regulatory Programme Manager Nuclear Power Plant. "The NNR conducted its initial inspection of the occurrence and can confirm that the airborne contamination in the Koeberg Security Central Alarm Station did not come from the nuclear power plant. The isotope represented the kind of contaminant that would be filtered if a nuclear accident were to take place at Koeberg, the NNR explained. Eskom had on 28 October notified the NNR that it detected the occurrence during routine testing of the ventilation system for the Koeberg Security Central Alarm Station.
