## Resource

Koeberg Nuclear Power Station faced three recent incidents involving elevated airborne radioactive contamination due to ventilation system failures during maintenance — but officials confirm no material leaked outside, posing zero public risk, and worker exposure was minimal, less than a dental X-ray. Despite this, the station’s 20-year extension and South Africa’s push for nuclear energy amid unreliable grids come at a global moment of renewed nuclear interest — even as safety concerns linger from past disasters.
