| Description | The impending operation of South Africa’s first nuclear power station, Koeberg, necessitates a thorough analysis of nuclear safety under local conditions. More is known, worldwide, about radiation effects than about any other health hazard, and international norms have already been accepted since 1928. The widespread use of X-rays and radio-isotopes, the extraction and processing of uranium, visits by nuclear-powered ships and, especially, the nuclear-reactor operation in South Africa. Consequently, the pre-operational investigations of Koeberg could be completed thoroughly, with full confidence in its safe commissioning. Die komende inbedryf stelling van Suid-Afrika se eerste kernkragstasie, Koeberg, genoodsaak ’n indringende analise van kernveiligheid onder plaaslike omstandighede. Oor die wêreld heen is daar meer oor stralingseffekte as oor enige ander gesondheidsgevaar bekend, en internasionale norme word alreeds sedert 1928 aanvaar. Die wydverspreide aanwending vasn röntgenstrale en radio-isotope, die ontginning en verwerking van uraan, besoeke van kernaangedrewe skepe en, veral, die kernreaktorbedryf te Pelindaba het stralingsbeskerming reeds stewig in Suid-Afrika gevestig. Gevolglik kon die voorafgaande ondersoeke van Koeberg deeglik afgehandel word met vertroue in die veilige inbedryf stelling daarvan. | |
