South Africa’s National Nuclear Regulator (NNR) is in good shape, but the oversight of radiation safety in the country, which is the responsibility of the Directorate of Radiation Control of the Department of Health, could be improved. These were findings reported at a press conference on Thursday by the Integrated Regulatory Review Service (IRRS) mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). “It’s been an honour to serve as team leader for the IRRS mission to South Africa,” affirmed US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Executive Director for Operations Victor McCree. “It’s a peer review. We’re here at the invitation of the host country. The NNR is a very competent regulator, a very strong regulator, with very capable resources at its disposal.”
