About the Koeberg Public Safety Information Forum
Section 26(4) of the NNR Act states that “The holder of a nuclear installation license must establish a public safety information forum as prescribed in order to inform the persons living in the municipal area in respect of which an emergency plan has been established on nuclear safety and radiation safety matters.” What is the Public Safety Information Forum (PSIF)? The PSIF is a meeting which takes place four times a year. It is used as a platform for residents within the municipal boundary of Koeberg Nuclear Power Station to enquire and receive nuclear-related information from the facility. Which topics are discussed? The forum will address any topic that the members feel could impact their health, environment and safety from a nuclear emergency preparedness point of view. Who should attend? All persons living within the municipal area around Koeberg; all affected and interested organisations or parties and any other persons concerned about their health and safety from a nuclear and radiation safety point of view are welcome to attend the forum. Persons wishing to attend are requested to register as a member. How do I register? Email your details to PienaaSZ@ eskom.co.za. Call +27 21 550 5263 or fax +27 86 577 8873. When are the PSIF meetings held? Dates for the meetings are published in the annual Koeberg Emergency Plan Calendar. The first two PSIF meetings took place on 26 March 2015, and 25 June 2015 respectively. Both meetings were well attended. Subsequent to this meeting (30 September 2015), the next PSIF meeting will take place on Thursday, November 26.
