Necsa is hosting IAEA Regional Advisory Safety Committee for Research Reactors in Africa (RASCA) Meeting at Royal Elephant Hotel in Centurion from 21 – 25 October 2024, this meeting is hosted annually on a rotational basis by all participating countries with the assistance of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) #RASCA #TeamNecsaGroup

Koeberg Nuclear Power Plant, located near Cape Town, South Africa, is unique for several reasons: 1. **Only Nuclear Power Plant in Africa**: Koeberg is the only operational nuclear power plant on the African continent, making it a distinctive part of South Africa's energy infrastructure. 2. **Seawater-Cooled**: It uses seawater from the Atlantic Ocean for cooling, which is relatively rare. This coastal location allows for an efficient cooling process, but also requires robust systems to handle potential challenges like marine life and corrosion. 3. **Earthquake-Resistant Design**: Koeberg was designed to withstand seismic activity. Since it's located in a region with moderate seismic risk, the plant's design includes features to mitigate the effects of an earthquake, a unique characteristic for nuclear plants worldwide. 4. **Energy Source for Cape Town**: Koeberg supplies about 5% of South Africa's electricity and is a crucial energy source for the Western Cape region, including the city of Cape Town, helping to reduce the country's dependence on coal. These factors make Koeberg a significant and unique part of both South Africa's and Africa's energy landscape.
