An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team of nuclear safety experts has completed a review of continued safe operation of the Safari-1 Research Reactor in Pelindaba, South Africa.

The Safety Review Mission on Ageing Management and Continued Safe Operation (Salto-RR) mission said that management of financial and human resources should be strengthened and a systematic screening process introduced to identify the structures, systems and components in the scope of the ageing management programme.

The mission team also called for formalised programmes to be established to address the obsolescence and qualification of equipment.
