SAFCEI sent an appeal on 11 September 2024 against the National Nuclear Regulator’s decision to extend the life of Unit 1 of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station by 20 years.
SAFCEI's Appeal
-The application for long term extension of the license for Koeberg did not comply with the long term operation regulations.
-The national nuclear regulator considered out-of-date documents contained in the LTO application, and failed to consider other relevant considerations.
-The decision that has been taken is irrational and unconstitutional.
